Voluntary Petition for Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy 12/15

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.

Notice Required by 11 U.S.C. § 342(b) for

Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy (Form 2010)

This notice is for you if:

You are an individual filing for bankruptcy,

and

Your debts are primarily consumer debts.

Consumer debts are defined in 11 U.S.C.

§ 101(8) as “incurred by an individual

primarily for a personal, family, or

household purpose.”

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;

The types of bankruptcy that are available to

individuals

Individuals who meet the qualifications may file under

one of four different chapters of Bankruptcy Code:

Chapter 7 - Liquidation

Chapter 11 - Reorganization

Chapter 12 - Voluntary repayment plan

for family farmers or

fishermen

Chapter 13 - Voluntary repayment plan

for individuals with regular

income

You should have an attorney review your

decision to file for bankruptcy and the choice of

chapter.

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

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.

$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.

Warning: File Your Forms on Time

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:

http://justice.gov/ust/eo/hapcpa/ccde/cc_approved.html

.

In Alabama and North Carolina, go to:

http://www.uscourts.gov/FederalCourts/Bankruptcy/

BankruptcyResources/ApprovedCredit

AndDebtCounselors.aspx.

If you do not have access to a computer, the clerk of

the bankruptcy court may be able to help you obtain

the list.

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.
