   SUMMARY ORDER

Plaintiff-Appellant Buchwald Capital Advisors LLC (the “Trustee”) appeals from a judgment entered September 30, 2012 by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Sullivan, /.), affirming the decision of the Bankruptcy Court (Bernstein, J.). The Trustee argues that the courts below erred in granting in part the defendants’ motion to dismiss the Trustee’s assorted fraudulent conveyance and preference claims arising out of the bankruptcy of the former jewelry corporation M. Fabrikant & Sons, Inc., and its subsidiary. We presume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts and procedural history of this ease, as well as with the issues on appeal.

The Trustee first contends that its “collapsing” fraudulent transfer claims— Counts I-IV of the Third Amended Complaint (the “TAC”) — should not have been dismissed. The collapsing doctrine, which derives from federal bankruptcy law and provisions of the New York Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law §§ 272-74 (McKinney 2013), allows the bankruptcy court to “collapse” various “legs” of a transaction involving a fraudulent transfer and deem the entire chain of transfers avoidable. See, e.g., In re Sharp Int’l Corp., 403 F.3d 43, 53-56 (2d Cir.2005). Under the collapsing doctrine, the initial transfer of an insolvent debtor’s property to a first transferee is constructively fraudulent where (1) the consideration received from the first transferee is re-conveyed by the debtor for less than fair value or with the actual intent to defraud creditors, and (2) the transferee in the leg of the transfer sought to be avoided had actual or constructive knowledge of the entire scheme that renders its exchange with the debtor fraudulent. HBE Leasing Corp. v. Frank, 48 F.3d 623, 635-36 (2d Cir.1995).

For substantially the reasons stated by the district court, we hold that the Trustee failed to plausibly allege that the defendants had actual or constructive knowledge of the purported fraudulent reconveyance scheme. At best, the TAC alleges that the banks had actual or inquiry notice of Fa-brikant’s precarious financial condition. This is not sufficient to show plausible actual or constructive knowledge of a fraudulent transfer scheme that allegedly involved Fabrikant’s executives using Fa-brikant’s lines of credit at the defendant banks to siphon off millions of dollars to the Fortgang Affiliates.

The Trustee next argues that its subsequent fraudulent transfer claims— Counts VIII-X of the TAC — likewise should not have been dismissed to the extent they relied on a theory of intentional fraud. We disagree, again for substantially the reasons stated by the district court. Claims of actual fraud must be pleaded with particularity. Fed.R.Civ.P. 9(b). The Trustee has not identified the dates, amounts, and other relevant circumstances of the particular transfers that it contends were made with the actual intent to defraud creditors. Accordingly, these claims, to the extent they assert intentional fraud, fail for lack of specificity. See, e.g., Fed. Nat’l Mortg. Ass’n v. Olympia Mortg. Corp., No. 04 Civ. 4971(NG)(MDG), 2006 WL 2802092, at *9 (E.D.N.Y. Sept. 28, 2006); United Feature Syndicate, Inc. v. Miller Features Syndicate, Inc., 216 F.Supp.2d 198, 221 (S.D.N.Y.2002).

Finally, turning to the preference claim — Count XI of the TAC — the Trustee argues that, contrary to the bankruptcy court’s determination, it has standing to assert this claim and the claim is not untimely. Without reaching the issue of standing, we affirm on the ground that the Trustee’s preference claim was untimely. The preference claim was not added to the complaint until the Trustee filed its Second Amended Complaint on December 1, 2008, more than a year after the bankruptcy court’s October 1, 2007 deadline for commencing adversary proceedings passed. Moreover, we agree with the district court that the preferential payments allegedly received by the defendant banks do not relate back to the fraudulent transfers allegedly made by the defendant banks, so the Trustee cannot look to the date that the original complaint was filed. Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(c)(1); see also In re 360Networks (USA) Inc., 367 B.R. 428, 433-34 (Bankr.S.D.N.Y.2007); In re Metzeler, 66 B.R. 977, 983-84 (Bankr.S.D.N.Y.1986).

We have considered all of the plaintiffs remaining arguments and find them to be without merit. Accordingly, for the foregoing reasons, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. 
      
      . The Trustee also appeals the dismissal of its disallowance claim — Count XII of the TAC. The parties agree with the district court that the disallowance claim “rises and falls’’ with the Trustee’s other claims. Accordingly, we affirm the dismissal of the disallowance claim to the extent that the Trustee's other claims on appeal — the collapsing claims, the subsequent transfer claims based on intentional fraud, and the preference claim — are dismissed.
