(b)  If the court requires the filing of claims, the court shall:

     (1)  Set a date, by order, at least one hundred twenty (120) days after the date the order is filed, as the last day for the filing of claims; and

     (2)  Prescribe the notice of the fixed date that shall be given to creditors and claimants.

(c)  Before the fixed date, the court may extend the time for filing claims. Creditors and claimants failing to file claims on or before the fixed date may be barred, by order of court, from claiming an interest in or receiving payment out of the property or assets of the cooperative.
