Filing a proof of claim is an important step for creditors in a bankruptcy case. A proof of claim is a written statement filed with the bankruptcy court by a creditor, stating the amount of the creditor's claim against the debtor. The proof of claim must provide sufficient detail and supporting documentation to establish the creditor's right to payment. It must also comply with the requirements set forth in the bankruptcy code, local bankruptcy rules, and any applicable court orders.

The bankruptcy code provides strict deadlines for filing a proof of claim. The deadline for filing a proof of claim is set by the court and can vary depending on the type of bankruptcy case and the jurisdiction in which it is filed. In some cases, such as when a bankruptcy case is converted from one chapter to another, the deadline may be extended.

It is important for creditors to file their proof of claim in a timely manner, as failure to do so may result in their claim being disallowed. Additionally, creditors must ensure that their proof of claim accurately reflects the amount of their claim and any supporting documentation.

​At Rountree Leitman Klein & Geer, LLC, we understand the importance of filing a proof of claim in a timely and accurate manner.
