A claim allowable under subsection (a) by reason of the avoidance, whether voluntary or involuntary, or a preference, lien, conveyance, transfer, assignment or encumbrance, may be filed as an excused late filing under § 56-9-323, if filed within thirty (30) days from the date of the avoidance, or within the further time allowed by the court under subsection (a).
