Filing a Claim

A creditor or an attorney for a creditor may file a proof of claim in one of two ways:

  • Submit an electronic proof of claim using the Court's ePOC program. No registration or password is needed to use ePOC. The program will automatically create an electronic proof of claim based on the information you enter. You may upload supporting information once you complete the electronic proof of claim. Click here to use ePOC.

  • Complete, date, and sign an Official Form 410 and file it with the Bankruptcy Clerk. Click here to print a blank official form or to complete the official form on-line and then print and sign it. File the completed, dated, and signed proof of claim and any supporting information as follows:

    • (1) An attorney for a creditor or a limited use filer may electronically file a PDF of the completed, dated, and signed proof of claim and any supporting information using the Court's NextGen CM/ECF system. An attorney must use either ePOC (see above) or NextGen CM/ECF to file a proof of claim. Click here to learn more about NextGen CM/ECF and how to register to use it.

    (2) A creditor, but not an attorney for a creditor, may mail the completed, dated, and signed proof of claim and any supporting information to the Bankruptcy Clerk (either office):

    (3) A creditor, but not an attorney for a creditor, may deliver the completed, dated, and signed proof of claim and any supporting information to the Bankruptcy Clerk at one of the addresses above.
