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.

Official Form 106C

Schedule C: The Property You Claim as Exempt 4/16

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.

 You are claiming state and federal nonbankruptcy exemptions. 11 U.S.C. § 522(b)(3)

 You are claiming federal exemptions. 11 U.S.C. § 522(b)(2)

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

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.

UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS

RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES AGREEMENT BETWEEN

CHAPTER 13 DEBTORS AND THEIR ATTORNEYS

(Court-Approved Retention Agreement, Revised as of 4/20/2015)

Chapter 13 gives debtors important rights, such as the right to keep property that could

otherwise be lost through repossession or foreclosure, but Chapter 13 also puts burdens on

debtors, such as the burden of making complete and truthful disclosures of their financial

situation. It is important for debtors who file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case to understand their

rights and responsibilities in bankruptcy. In this connection, the advice of an attorney is often

crucial. Debtors are entitled to certain services from their attorneys, but debtors also have

responsibilities to their attorneys. In order to assure that debtors and their attorneys understand

their rights and responsibilities in the Chapter 13 process, the judges of the Bankruptcy Court for

the Northern District of Illinois have approved this agreement, setting out the rights and

responsibilities of both debtors in Chapter 13 and their attorneys, including how their attorneys

will be paid for their services in the Chapter 13 case. By signing this agreement, debtors and

their attorneys accept these responsibilities.

The Bankruptcy Code may require a debtor's attorney to provide the debtor with certain

documents and agreements at the start of the representation. The terms of this court-approved

agreement take the place of any conflicting provision in an earlier agreement. This agreement

cannot be modified in any way by other agreements. Any provision of another agreement

between the debtors and the attorney that conflicts with this agreement is void.

A. BEFORE THE CASE IS FILED

THE DEBTOR AGREES TO:

1. Discuss with the attorney the debtor's objectives in filing the case.

2. Provide the attorney with full, accurate and timely information, financial and otherwise,

including properly documented proof of income.

THE ATTORNEY AGREES TO:

1. Personally counsel the debtor regarding the advisability of filing either a Chapter 13 or a Chapter 7

case, discuss both procedures (as well as non-bankruptcy options) with the debtor, and answer the

debtor's questions.

2. Personally explain to the debtor that the attorney is being engaged to represent the debtor on all

matters arising in the case, as required by Local Bankruptcy Rule, and explain how and when the

attorney's fees and the trustee's fees are determined and paid.

3. Personally review with the debtor and sign the completed petition, plan, statements, and schedules,

as well as all amendments thereto, whether filed with the petition or later. (The schedules may be

initially prepared with the help of clerical or paralegal staff of the attorney's office, but personal

attention of the attorney is required for the review and signing.)

4. Timely prepare and file the debtor's petition, plan, statements, and schedules.

5. Explain to the debtor how, when, and where to make all necessary payments, including both

payments that must be made directly to creditors and payments that must be made to the Chapter 13

trustee, with particular attention to housing and vehicle payments.

6. Advise the debtor of the need to maintain appropriate insurance.

B. AFTER THE CASE IS FILED

THE DEBTOR AGREES TO:

1. Make the required payments to the trustee and to whatever creditors are being paid

directly, or, if required payments cannot be made, to notify the attorney immediately.

2. Appear punctually at the meeting of creditors (also called the "341 meeting") with recent

proof of income and a picture identification card. (If the identification card does not include

the debtor's social security number, the debtor must also bring to the meeting a social security

card.) The debtor must be present in time for check-in and when the case is called for the

actual examination.

3. Notify the attorney of any change in the debtor's address or telephone number.

4. Inform the attorney of any wage garnishments or liens or levies on assets that occur or

continue after the filing of the case.

5. Contact the attorney immediately if the debtor loses employment, has a significant change

in income, or experiences any other significant change in financial situation (such as serious

illness, marriage, divorce or separation, lottery winnings, or an inheritance).

6. Notify the attorney if the debtor is sued or wishes to file a lawsuit (including divorce.)

7. Inform the attorney if any tax refunds to which the debtor is entitled are seized or not

received when due from the IRS or Illinois Department of Revenue.

8. Contact the attorney before buying, refinancing, or selling real property, and before

entering into any loan agreement.

9. Supply the attorney with copies of all tax returns filed while the case is pending.

THE ATTORNEY AGREES TO:

1. Advise the debtor of the requirement to attend the meeting of creditors, and notify the

debtor of the date, time, and place of the meeting.

2. Inform the debtor that the debtor must be punctual and, in the case of a joint filing, that

both spouses must appear at the same meeting.

3. Provide knowledgeable legal representation for the debtor at the meeting of creditors (in

time for check-in and the actual examination) and, unless excused by the trustee, for the

confirmation hearing.

4. If the attorney will be employing another attorney to attend the 341 meeting or any court

hearing, personally explain to the debtor in advance, the role and identity of the other

C. TERMINATION OR CONVERSION OF THE CASE AFTER ENTRY OF AN

ORDER APPROVING FEES AND EXPENSES

1. Approved fees and expenses paid under the provisions set out below are generally not

refundable in the event that the case is dismissed prior to its completion, unless the dismissal is

due to a failure by the attorney to comply with the duties set out in this agreement. If such a

dismissal is due to a failure by the attorney, the court may order a refund of fees on motion by

the debtor.

2. If the case is dismissed after approval of the fees and expenses but before payment of all

allowed fees and expenses, the order entered by the Bankruptcy Court allowing the fees and

expenses is not a judgment against the debtor for the unpaid fees and expenses based on contract

law or otherwise.

3. If the case is converted to a case under chapter 7 after approval of the fees and expenses under

726(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, plus any conversion fee the attorney pays on behalf of the

debtor.

D. RETAINERS AND PREVIOUS PAYMENTS

1. The attorney may receive a retainer or other payment before filing the case but may not

receive fees directly from the debtor after the filing of the case. Unless the following provision is

checked and completed, any retainer received by the attorney will be treated as a security

retainer, to be placed in the attorney's client trust account until approval of a fee application by

the court.

The attorney seeks to have the retainer received by the attorney treated as an advance

payment retainer, which allows the attorney to take the retainer into income immediately.

The attorney hereby provides the following further information and representations:

(a) The special purpose for the advance payment retainer and why it is advantageous to

the debtor is as follows:

(b) The retainer will not be held in a client trust account and will become property of the

attorney upon payment and will be deposited into the attorney's general account;

(c) The retainer is a flat fee for the services to be rendered during the chapter 13 case

and will be applied for such services without the need for the attorney to keep

detailed hourly time records for the specific services performed for the debtor;

(d) Any portion of the retainer that is not earned or required for expenses will be

refunded to the client; and

(e) The attorney is unwilling to represent the debtor without receiving an advanced

payment retainer because of the nature of the chapter 13 case, the fact that the great

majority of services for such case are performed prior to its filing, and the risks

associated with the representation of debtors in bankruptcy cases in general.

2. In any application for compensation the attorney must disclose to the court any fees or other

compensation paid by the debtor to the attorney for any reason within the one year before the

case filing.

UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS

RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES AGREEMENT BETWEEN

CHAPTER 13 DEBTORS AND THEIR ATTORNEYS

(Court-Approved Retention Agreement, Revised as of 4/20/15)

Chapter 13 gives debtors important rights, such as the right to keep property that could

otherwise be lost through repossession or foreclosure, but Chapter 13 also puts burdens on

debtors, such as the burden of making complete and truthful disclosures of their financial

situation. It is important for debtors who file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case to understand their

rights and responsibilities in bankruptcy. In this connection, the advice of an attorney is often

crucial. Debtors are entitled to certain services from their attorneys, but debtors also have

responsibilities to their attorneys. In order to assure that debtors and their attorneys understand

their rights and responsibilities in the Chapter 13 process, the judges of the Bankruptcy Court for

the Northern District of Illinois have approved this agreement, setting out the rights and

responsibilities of both debtors in Chapter 13 and their attorneys, including how their attorneys

will be paid for their services in the Chapter 13 case. By signing this agreement, debtors and

their attorneys accept these responsibilities.

The Bankruptcy Code may require a debtor's attorney to provide the debtor with certain

documents and agreements at the start of the representation. The terms of this court-approved

agreement take the place of any conflicting provision in an earlier agreement. This agreement

cannot be modified in any way by other agreements. Any provision of another agreement

between the debtors and the attorney that conflicts with this agreement is void.

A. BEFORE THE CASE IS FILED

THE DEBTOR AGREES TO:

1. Discuss with the attorney the debtor's objectives in filing the case.

2. Provide the attorney with full, accurate and timely information, financial and otherwise,

including properly documented proof of income.

THE ATTORNEY AGREES TO:

1. Personally counsel the debtor regarding the advisability of filing either a Chapter 13 or a

Chapter 7 case, discuss both procedures (as well as non-bankruptcy options) with the debtor, and

answer the debtor's questions.

2. Personally explain to the debtor that the attorney is being engaged to represent the debtor on

all matters arising in the case, as required by Local Bankruptcy Rule, and explain how and when

the attorney's fees and the trustee's fees are determined and paid.

Case 16-28398 Doc 1 Filed 09/02/16 Entered 09/02/16 15:51:19 Desc Main

 Document Page 46 of 53
3. Personally review with the debtor and sign the completed petition, plan, statements, and

schedules, as well as all amendments thereto, whether filed with the petition or later. (The

schedules may be initially prepared with the help of clerical or paralegal staff of the attorney's

office, but personal attention of the attorney is required for the review and signing.)

4. Timely prepare and file the debtor's petition, plan, statements, and schedules.

5. Explain to the debtor how, when, and where to make all necessary payments, including both

payments that must be made directly to creditors and payments that must be made to the Chapter

13 trustee, with particular attention to housing and vehicle payments.

6. Advise the debtor of the need to maintain appropriate insurance.

B. AFTER THE CASE IS FILED

1. Make the required payments to the trustee and to whatever creditors are being paid directly,

or, if required payments cannot be made, to notify the attorney immediately.

2. Appear punctually at the meeting of creditors (also called the "341 meeting") with recent

proof of income and a picture identification card. (If the identification card does not include the

debtor's social security number, the debtor must also bring to the meeting a social security card.)

The debtor must be present in time for check-in and when the case is called for the actual

examination,

3. Notify the attorney of any change in the debtor's address or telephone number.

4. Inform the attorney of any wage garnishments or liens or levies on assets that occur or

continue after the filing of the case.

5. Contact the attorney immediately if the debtor loses employment, has a significant change in

income, or experiences any other significant change in financial situation (such as serious

illness, marriage, divorce or separation, lottery winnings, or an inheritance).

6. Notify the attorney if the debtor is sued or wishes to file a lawsuit (including divorce.)

7. Inform the attorney if any tax refunds to which the debtor is entitled are seized or not

received when due from the IRS or Illinois Department of Revenue.

8. Contact the attorney before buying, refinancing, or selling real property, and before entering

into any loan agreement.

9. Supply the attorney with copies of all tax returns filed while the case is pending.

THE ATTORNEY AGREES TO:

1. Advise the debtor of the requirement to attend the meeting of creditors, and notify the debtor

of the date, time, and place of the meeting.

Case 16-28398 Doc 1 Filed 09/02/16 Entered 09/02/16 15:51:19 Desc Main

 Document Page 47 of 53
2. Inform the debtor that the debtor must be punctual and, in the case of a joint filing, that both

spouses must appear at the same meeting.

3. Provide knowledgeable legal representation for the debtor at the meeting of creditors (in

time for check-in and the actual examination) and, unless excused by the trustee, for the

confirmation hearing.

4. If the attorney will be employing another attorney to attend the 341 meeting or any court

hearing, personally explain to the debtor in advance, the role and identity of the other attorney

and provide the other attorney with the file in sufficient time to review it and properly represent

the debtor.

5. Timely submit to the Chapter 13 trustee properly documented proof of income for the debtor,

including business reports for self-employed debtors.

6. Timely respond to objections to plan confirmation and, where necessary, prepare, file, and

serve an amended plan.

and any change of address, in accordance with information provided by the debtor.

Notice of Intent to Pay Claims, and 6-month status reports) for accuracy and completeness.

Contact the trustee promptly regarding any discrepancies.

9. Be available to respond to the debtor's questions throughout the term of the plan.

10. Prepare, file, and serve timely modifications to the plan after confirmation, when necessary,

including modifications to suspend, lower, or increase plan payments.

11. Prepare, file, and serve necessary motions to buy or sell property and to incur debt.

12. Object to improper or invalid claims.

13. Timely respond to the Chapter 13 trustee's motions to dismiss the case, such as for payment

default, or unfeasibility, and to motions to increase the percentage payment to unsecured

creditors.

14. Timely respond to motions for relief from stay.

15. Prepare, file, and serve all appropriate motions to avoid liens.

16. Provide any other legal services necessary for the administration of the case.
