Proof of Claims
What is a proof of claim?
A proof of claim is an official bankruptcy form that is filled out by a creditor to indicate the amount of debt that a debtor owed the creditor as of the date the debtor filed for bankruptcy. A proof of claim is a standard form – instructions and a downloadable form can be found here. A blank proof of claim form may also be included in the notice of the bankruptcy filing you receive from the court clerk. A creditor must fill out and submit a proof of claim to receive payment on the claim.
Who should file a proof of claim?
If you are a priority, secured or unsecured creditor in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you must file a proof of claim to receive payment during the bankruptcy case. Depending on your claim and the terms of the plan, you might never receive payment if you don’t file a proof of claim.
