bankruptcy
What happens if a creditor can&#39;t make it to the creditors meeting for bankruptcy?
<p>I am in the US, and have some foreign debts I will be declaring in my bankruptcy application, as well as some US debts where the people have since moved overseas.</p>
<p>It's unlikely anyone living overseas or representing a foreign org would show up to the creditors meetings.</p>
<p>I know that it is already unlikely that people show up, but my question is if they are unable to due to being overseas, does that give grounds for the bankruptcy to be challenged at a later stage?</p>

<h2>Most creditors don’t turn up at creditors meetings</h2>
<p>Largely because it’s a waste of their time and incurs further expense on top of the money they will likely never see again. Unsecured creditors have virtually no power to control the bankruptcy.</p>
<p>Almost all those who do, do so by proxy - usually nominating the trustee as their proxy. Proxy forms are distributed with the paperwork about the meeting, sign it, stamp it and drop it in the mail and you are “at” the meeting.</p>
<p>Attendance is voluntary - not being there in person or by proxy will not invalidate anything done at the meeting.</p>
