Verify the debtor(s) name and case number BEFORE submitting the proof of claim.  The fillable form will display the case number and debtor’s name at the top.  If you have entered the incorrect case number, use your browser’s ‘Back’ button to return to the first screen and enter the correct case number.

If you are a creditor’s attorney filing the claim, be sure to indicate the appropriate payment address for the creditor.  If a separate payment address is not entered, any funds will be sent to the creditor at the address shown on the claim form.

If you are amending a claim for any reason, be sure to check the “Amends a previously filed claim” box on the claim form.  This will avoid duplicate claims being filed on the claims register.

Verify all dollar amounts before you submit your claim.  Do not use dollar signs or commas when entering amounts.

If you have supporting documentation for your claim, select “Yes” to the question, “Do you wish to attach supporting documentation?”  Attachments must be in PDF format.  After clicking “Submit Claim”, you will be able to attach your documentation.

If you are entering zero for the amount claimed because the amount is unknown at the time of filing the claim, be sure to enter 0.00.  Attach the appropriate documentation to your claim to explain the zero amount.

If there is insufficient space in the blocks provided on the fillable form to enter information you wish to provide regarding the basis of your claim, please attach that information as supporting documentation.

After you submit your claim, the claim number will display with a link to the electronically file-stamped proof of claim.  Print or save a copy of the claim for your records.
