What should the debtor do if he or she moves while the case is pending?

The debtor should immediately notify the bankruptcy court, the chapter 13 trustee, and his or her attorney in writing of the new address. Most communications in a chapter 13 case are by mail, and if the debtor fails to receive an order at the court or a notice from the chapter 13 trustee because of an incorrect address, the case may be dismissed. Many courts have change-of-address forms that may be used if the debtor moves.
