The Form 38-1004 is the official notice used by trustees to inform creditors about an upcoming meeting of creditors. It is required under Australian insolvency law and must be served at least 10 business days before the meeting date.

• Incorrect creditor address. Double‑check the mailing address to ensure every creditor receives the notice.
• Leaving fields blank. Even optional fields should be marked as “N/A” if not applicable.
