I think there may have been a misinterpretation of the opening poster's question.
If the Supervisor is in a position to make a distribution to creditors and not all creditors have submitted a claim, the Supervisor has a duty to attempt to establish the level of the claim. He would issue what is known as a Notice of Intended Dividend to the creditor(s) who have not yet claimed. This gives them a set period of time within which to submit their claim. There are consequences for the creditor if they fail to provide the Supervisor with a claim within that time period; ie exclusion from that distribution. So for instance if your supervisor was in a position to issue a final dividend to your creditors, those who have not submitted a cliam will be excluded and with it being a final dividend, the funds will be ditributed to all creditors who have submitted a claim.
So as andydavie suggests, your creditors who have claimed will receive a higher dividend payment.
An unclaimed dividend, that Melanie referred to, would be a cheque or payment order made to your creditors by your Supervisor that was not cashed. Usually, proposals are modified to determine the course of action to be taken by the Supervisor in such instances. If the amount in question is >£500, your Supervisor would be expected to distribute those funds to the other creditors. If <£500 then they usually suggest that the funds can be returned to the debtor.
I am sure you will probably already know this, but I will mention it anyway. If a creditor bound by your arrangement does not submit a claim and as a consequence does ot receive a dividend, they are under no circumstances entitled to come to you for payment at a future date.
Tell it like it is.
