Official Form 101

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.”

The types of bankruptcy that are

available to individuals

Individuals who meet the qualifications may file

under one of four different chapters of the

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.

Chapter 7: Liquidation

$245 filing fee

$78 administrative fee

+ $15 trustee surcharge

$338 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;

most domestic support and property

settlement obligations;

Notice Required by 11 U.S.C. U.S.C. § 342(b) for Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy (Form 2010) page 1

Case 24-43097-elm13 Doc 1 Filed 08/30/24 Entered 08/30/24 09:20:09 Desc Main

Document Page 9 of 17
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

+ $571 administrative fee

$1,738 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

+ $78 administrative fee

$278 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

+ $78 administrative fee

$313 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:

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:

http://justice.gov/ust/eo/hapcpa

/ccde/cc_approved.html.

If you do not have access to a computer, the

clerk of the bankruptcy court may be able to

help you obtain the list.
