Rule 4007-1
4000 Series

(a)      Reinstated Case. If a case is dismissed before expiration of the deadline in Bankruptcy Rule 4007(c) to file a complaint to determine whether a debt is dischargeable under § 523(c) – and is then reinstated – the new deadlines are:

(1)      in a case dismissed before the date first set for the § 341 meeting of creditors, 60 days after the rescheduled § 341 meeting of creditors; and

(2)      in a case dismissed after the date first set for the § 341 meeting of creditors, 60 days after entry of the order reinstating the case.

(b)     Meeting of Creditors Not Timely Noticed. In a case where the debtor, the trustee, creditors, and all indenture trustees have not been given at least 21 days’ notice by mail of the § 341 meeting of creditors – and as a result the § 341 meeting of creditors is rescheduled – the deadline in Bankruptcy Rule 4007(c) to file a complaint to determine whether a debt is dischargeable under § 523(c) will be 60 days after the rescheduled § 341 meeting of creditors.
