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

to creditors, even if the case is converted to chapter 7. Debtors must file a list of property claimed as exempt. You

523(a)(2) or (4), you must file a complaint and pay the filing fee in the bankruptcy clerk’s office by the deadline. If

you believe that the debtors are not entitled to a discharge of any of their debts under 11 U.S.C. § 1328(f), you

must file a motion. The bankruptcy clerk’s office must receive the objection by the deadline to object to

exemptions in line 8.
