Official Form 101

Voluntary Petition for Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy 12/22

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.

Part 5: Explain Your Efforts to Receive a Briefing About Credit Counseling

15. Tell the court whether

you have received a

briefing about credit

counseling.

The law requires that you

receive a briefing about credit

counseling before you file for

bankruptcy. You must

truthfully check one of the

following choices. If you

cannot do so, you are not

eligible to file.

If you file anyway, the court

can dismiss your case, you

will lose whatever filing fee

you paid, and your creditors

can begin collection activities

again.

About Debtor 1: About Debtor 2 (Spouse Only in a Joint Case): 

You must check one:

 I received a briefing from an approved credit

counseling agency within the 180 days before I

filed this bankruptcy petition, and I received a

certificate of completion.

Attach a copy of the certificate and the payment

plan, if any, that you developed with the agency.

 I received a briefing from an approved credit

counseling agency within the 180 days before I

filed this bankruptcy petition, but I do not have a

certificate of completion.

Within 14 days after you file this bankruptcy petition,

you MUST file a copy of the certificate and payment

plan, if any.

 I certify that I asked for credit counseling

services from an approved agency, but was

unable to obtain those services during the 7

days after I made my request, and exigent

circumstances merit a 30-day temporary waiver

of the requirement.

To ask for a 30-day temporary waiver of the

requirement, attach a separate sheet explaining

what efforts you made to obtain the briefing, why

you were unable to obtain it before you filed for

bankruptcy, and what exigent circumstances

required you to file this case.

Your case may be dismissed if the court is

dissatisfied with your reasons for not receiving a

briefing before you filed for bankruptcy.

If the court is satisfied with your reasons, you must

still receive a briefing within 30 days after you file.

You must file a certificate from the approved

agency, along with a copy of the payment plan you

developed, if any. If you do not do so, your case

may be dismissed.

Any extension of the 30-day deadline is granted

only for cause and is limited to a maximum of 15

days.

 I am not required to receive a briefing about

credit counseling because of:

 Incapacity. I have a mental illness or a mental

deficiency that makes me

incapable of realizing or making 

rational decisions about finances. 

 Disability. My physical disability causes me

to be unable to participate in a 

briefing in person, by phone, or 

through the internet, even after I 

reasonably tried to do so.

 Active duty. I am currently on active military

duty in a military combat zone.

If you believe you are not required to receive a 

briefing about credit counseling, you must file a 

motion for waiver of credit counseling with the court.

 I received a briefing from an approved credit

counseling agency within the 180 days before I

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; 

 domestic support and property settlement 

obligations;

Document Page 8 of 18
 

Notice Required by 11 U.S.C. U.S.C. § 342(b) for Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy (Form 2010) page 2

 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.

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. 

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.

Notice Required by 11 U.S.C. U.S.C. § 342(b) for Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy (Form 2010) page 4

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://www.uscourts.gov/servicesforms/bankruptcy/credit-counseling-and-debtoreducation-courses. 

In Alabama and North Carolina, go to: 

http://www.uscourts.gov/servicesforms/bankruptcy/credit-counseling-anddebtor-education-courses. 

If you do not have access to a computer, the 

clerk of the bankruptcy court may be able to 

help you obtain the list.

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:
