Official Form 101

Voluntary Petition for Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy

The bankruptcy forms use you and Debtor 1 to refer to a debtor filing alone. A married couple may file a bankruptcy case together—called a

joint case —and in joint cases, these forms use you to ask for information from both debtors. For example, if a form asks, "Do you own a car, "the answer

would be yes if either debtor owns a car. When information is needed about the spouses separately, the form uses Debtor 1 and Debtor 2 to distinguish

between them. In joint cases, one of the spouses must report information as Debtor 1 and the other as Debtor 2. The same person must be Debtor 1 in all of

the forms.

Be as complete and accurate as possible. If two married people are filing together, both are equally responsible for supplying correct information. If more

space is needed, attach a separate sheet to this form. On the top of any additional pages, write your name and case number (if known). Answer every question.

pay with cash, cashier's check, or money order... If your attorney is submitting your payment on your

behalf, your attorney may pay with a credit card or check with a pre-printed address.

I need to pay the fee in installments. If you choose this option, sign and attach the Application for

Individuals to Pay Your Filing Fee in Installments (Official Form 103A).

I request that my fee be waived (You may request this option only if you are filing for Chapter 7. By

law, a judge may, but is not required to, waive your fee, and may do so only if your income is less than

150% of the official poverty line that applies to your family size and you are unable to pay the fee in

installments). If you choose this option, you must fill out the Application to Have the Chapter 7 Filing

Schedule C: The Property You Claim as Exempt

Be as complete and accurate as possible. If two married people are filing together, both are equally responsible for supplying correct

information. Using the property you listed on Schedule A/B: Property (Official Form 106A/B) as your source, list the property that you

claim as exempt. If more space is needed, fill out and attach to this page as many copies of Part 2: Additional Page as necessary. On

the top of any additional pages, write your name and case number (if known).

For each item of property you claim as exempt, you must specify the amount of the exemption you claim. One way of doing so

is to state a specific dollar amount as exempt. Alternatively, you may claim the full fair market value of the property being

exempted up to the amount of any applicable statutory limit. Some exemptions—such as those for health aids, rights to

receive certain benefits, and tax-exempt retirement funds—may be unlimited in dollar amount. However, if you claim an

exemption of 100% of fair market value under a law that limits the exemption to a particular dollar amount and the value of the

property is determined to exceed that amount, your exemption would be limited to the applicable statutory amount.

Part 1: Identify the Property You Claim as Exempt

1. Which set of exemptions are you claiming? Check one only, even if your spouse is filing with you.

2. For any property you list on Schedule A/B that you claim as exempt, fill in the information below.

decision to file for bankruptcy and the choice

of chapter.

Chapter 7: Liquidation

+

$245 filing fee

$75 administrative fee

$15 trustee surcharge

$335 total fee

Chapter 7 is for individuals who have financial

difficulty preventing them from paying their debts

and who are willing to allow their nonexempt

property to be used to pay their creditors. The

primary purpose of filing under chapter 7 is to have

your debts discharged. The bankruptcy discharge

relieves you after bankruptcy from having to pay

many of your pre-bankruptcy debts. Exceptions

exist for particular debts, and liens on property

may still be enforced after discharge. For example,

a creditor may have the right to foreclose a home

mortgage or repossess an automobile.

However, if the court finds that you have

committed certain kinds of improper conduct

described in the Bankruptcy Code, the court may

deny your discharge.

You should know that even if you file chapter 7 and

you receive a discharge, some debts are not

discharged under the law. Therefore, you may still

be responsible to pay:

most taxes;

most student loans;

domestic support and property settlement

obligations;

most fines, penalties, forfeitures, and criminal

restitution obligations; and

certain debts that are not listed in your

bankruptcy papers.

You may also be required to pay debts arising from:

fraud or theft;

fraud or defalcation while acting in breach of

fiduciary capacity;

intentional injuries that you inflicted; and

death or personal injury caused by operating a

motor vehicle, vessel, or aircraft while intoxicated

from alcohol or drugs.

If your debts are primarily consumer debts, the court

can dismiss your chapter 7 case if it finds that you

have enough income to repay creditors a certain

amount. You must file Chapter 7 Statement of Your

Current Monthly Income (Official Form 122A–1) if

you are an individual filing for bankruptcy under

chapter 7. This form will determine your current

monthly income and compare whether your income

is more than the median income that applies in your

state.

If your income is not above the median for your

state, you will not have to complete the other

chapter 7 form, the Chapter 7 Means Test

Calculation (Official Form 122A–2).

If your income is above the median for your state,

you must file a second form — the Chapter 7 Means

Test Calculation (Official Form 122A–2). The

calculations on the form— sometimes called the

Means Test —deduct from your income living

expenses and payments on certain debts to determine

any amount available to pay unsecured creditors. If

your income is more than the median income for

your state of residence and family size, depending

on the results of the Means Test, the U.S. trustee,

bankruptcy administrator, or creditors can file a

motion to dismiss your case under § 707(b) of the

Bankruptcy Code. If a motion is filed, the court

will decide if your case should be dismissed. To

avoid dismissal, you may choose to proceed under

another chapter of the Bankruptcy Code.

If you are an individual filing for chapter 7

bankruptcy, the trustee may sell your property to

pay your debts, subject to your right to exempt

the property or a portion of the proceeds from

the sale of the property. The property, and the

proceeds from property that your bankruptcy

trustee sells or liquidates that you are entitled to, is

called exempt property. Exemptions may enable

you to keep your home, a car, clothing, and

household items or to receive some of the

proceeds if the property is sold.

Exemptions are not automatic. To exempt

property, you must list it on Schedule C: The

Property You Claim as Exempt (Official Form

106C). If you do not list the property, the trustee

may sell it and pay all of the proceeds to your

creditors.

Chapter 11: Reorganization

+

$1,167 filing fee

$550 administrative fee

$1,717 total fee

Chapter 11 is often used for reorganizing a

business, but is also available to individuals. The

provisions of chapter 11 are too complicated to

summarize briefly.

Read These Important Warnings

Because bankruptcy can have serious long-term financial and legal consequences, including loss of your

property, you should hire an attorney and carefully consider all of your options before you file. Only an

attorney can give you legal advice about what can happen as a result of filing for bankruptcy and what your

options are. If you do file for bankruptcy, an attorney can help you fill out the forms properly and protect you,

your family, your home, and your possessions.

Although the law allows you to represent yourself in bankruptcy court, you should understand that many

people find it difficult to represent themselves successfully. The rules are technical, and a mistake or inaction

may harm you. If you file without an attorney, you are still responsible for knowing and following all of the

legal requirements.

You should not file for bankruptcy if you are not eligible to file or if you do not intend to file the necessary

documents.

Bankruptcy fraud is a serious crime; you could be fined and imprisoned if you commit fraud in your

bankruptcy case. Making a false statement, concealing property, or obtaining money or property by fraud in

connection with a bankruptcy case can result in fines up to $250,000, or imprisonment for up to 20 years, or

both. 18 U.S.C. §§ 152, 1341, 1519, and 3571.

Chapter 12: Repayment plan for family

farmers or fishermen

+

$200 filing fee

$75 administrative fee

$275 total fee

Similar to chapter 13, chapter 12 permits family

farmers and fishermen to repay their debts over a

period of time using future earnings and to discharge

some debts that are not paid.

Chapter 13: Repayment plan for

individuals with regular

income

+

$235 filing fee

$75 administrative fee

$310 total fee

Chapter 13 is for individuals who have regular

income and would like to pay all or part of their

debts in installments over a period of time and to

discharge some debts that are not paid. You are

eligible for chapter 13 only if your debts are not

more than certain dollar amounts set forth in 11

U.S.C. § 109.

Under chapter 13, you must file with the court a

plan to repay your creditors all or part of the

money that you owe them, usually using your

future earnings. If the court approves your plan,

the court will allow you to repay your debts, as

adjusted by the plan, within 3 years or 5 years,

depending on your income and other factors.

After you make all the payments under your plan,

many of your debts are discharged. The debts that

are not discharged and that you may still be

responsible to pay include:

domestic support obligations,

most student loans,

certain taxes,

debts for fraud or theft,

debts for fraud or defalcation while acting in a

fiduciary capacity,

most criminal fines and restitution obligations,

certain debts that are not listed in your

bankruptcy papers,

certain debts for acts that caused death or

personal injury, and

certain long-term secured debts.

Warning: File Your Forms on Time

Section 521(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code requires that

you promptly file detailed information about your

creditors, assets, liabilities, income, expenses and

general financial condition. The court may dismiss

your bankruptcy case if you do not file this

information within the deadlines set by the Bankruptcy

Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the local rules of the

court

For more information about the documents and their

deadlines, go to:

http://www.uscourts.gov/bkforms/bankruptcy_form

s.html#procedure.

Bankruptcy crimes have serious

consequences

If you knowingly and fraudulently conceal assets

or make a false oath or statement under penalty

of perjury—either orally or in writing—in

connection with a bankruptcy case, you may be

fined, imprisoned, or both.

All information you supply in connection with a

bankruptcy case is subject to examination by the

Attorney General acting through the Office of the

U.S. Trustee, the Office of the U.S. Attorney, and

other offices and employees of the U.S.

Department of Justice.

Make sure the court has your

mailing address

The bankruptcy court sends notices to the mailing

address you list on Voluntary Petition for Individuals

Filing for Bankruptcy (Official Form 101). To ensure

that you receive information about your case,

Bankruptcy Rule 4002 requires that you notify the

court of any changes in your address.

A married couple may file a bankruptcy case

together - called a joint case. If you file a joint

case and each spouse lists the same mailing address

on the bankruptcy petition, the bankruptcy court

generally will mail you and your spouse one copy

of each notice, unless you file a statement with

the court asking that each spouse receive separate

copies.

Understand which services you

could receive from credit

counseling agencies

The law generally requires that you receive a

credit counseling briefing from an approved credit

counseling agency. 11 U.S.C. § 109(h). If you are

filing a joint case, both spouses must receive the

briefing. With limited exceptions, you must

receive it within the 180 days before you file

your bankruptcy petition. This briefing is usually

conducted by telephone or on the Internet.

In addition, after filing a bankruptcy case, you

generally must complete a financial management

instructional course before you can receive a

discharge. If you are filing a joint case, both

spouses must complete the course.

You can obtain the list of agencies approved to

provide both the briefing and the instructional

course from:

of the bankruptcy court may be able to help you

obtain the list.
