FAQs

  • I am a creditor’s attorney and will be filing a claim on behalf of my client. How do I record the creditor address and my address as attorney?

    When filing the claim, there is a drop-down box on the first screen which allows you, the filer, to select who is submitting the claim. The options are: Creditor; Creditor’s Attorney; Debtor; Debtor’s Attorney; or Trustee. If the attorney is the filer, you will be able to add the attorney name and address and select the creditor’s name from the listing of creditors in the case or if the creditor is not listed or listed incorrectly, you are able to add the correct creditor. Both names and addresses will be added to the mailing matrix and displayed on the Proof of Claim and Claims Register.

  • Can I get a file-stamped acknowledgment of the Proof of Claim?

    Yes. The court’s claim number will display with a link to the electronically file-stamped proof of claim after the claim has been submitted. The claim will be file stamped as of the entry date. It is recommended that the claim be printed or saved at this time.
