Yes, absolutely — in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, creditors have the right to be notified of key hearings and deadlines, but only if they are officially listed as creditors or if they formally notify the court or trustee of their interest in the case.

Since most members in your group were not listed, they won't automatically receive any notices — but there are ways to fix that:

==== ### ====

Once a meeting of creditors (341 meeting) is scheduled, a deadline (“bar date”) is typically set. If the trustee recovers assets, creditors must file a Proof of Claim to receive a payout.

👉 Filing a claim usually puts your name on the docket, and you’ll start getting formal court notices — including hearings and objections.

: 

===== Creditors not listed can submit a written request to be added to the case’s mailing matrix — this tells the clerk’s office to send all future notices to you. =====

You can do this by mailing or e-filing a simple statement to the court (not a formal motion). Here's a template you can use:

===== To: =====
U.S. Bankruptcy Clerk's Office
Southern District of Texas
515 Rusk Street, Room 5300
Houston, TX 77002

Re: Request for Notice – Case No. 4:25-bk-33305 (DE Marketing LLC)

Dear Clerk of Court,

I am writing to formally request to be added to the mailing matrix in the above-referenced bankruptcy case.

I am an independent contractor and unpaid creditor of DE Marketing LLC and am entitled to receive notices of hearings, motions, deadlines, and other court activity related to this case.

Please add me at the following address:

[Your Name]
[Mailing Address]
[Email (optional)]

Respectfully,
[Signature]
[Date]

===== You or a group rep can check the docket periodically via: =====
* 📚 PACER.gov
* 📂 Inforuptcy Case Page

New filings (like objections, asset findings, or hearing notices) will appear there first.

===== I can make a version that members can fill out, print, and mail to the clerk — would that help? =====

Let me know and I’ll generate it immediately.
