Deadlines for filing proof of claim:

A proof of claim is a signed statement describing a creditor’s claim. A proof of claim form may be obtained at

or any bankruptcy clerk’s office. If you do not file a proof of claim by the deadline, you might not

be paid on your claim. To be paid, you must file a proof of claim even if your claim is listed in the schedules that the

debtor filed.

Secured creditors retain rights in their collateral regardless of whether they file a proof of claim. Filing a proof of

claim submits the creditor to the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court, with consequences a lawyer can explain. For

example, a secured creditor who files a proof of claim may surrender important nonmonetary rights, including the

right to a jury trial.
