UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT

Northern District of Illinois

In re Martha J Smylie Case No. 

Debtor (if known)

EXHIBIT D - INDIVIDUAL DEBTOR'S STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH

CREDIT COUNSELING REQUIREMENT

 Warning: You must be able to check truthfully one of the five statements regarding credit 

counseling listed below. If you cannot do so, you are not eligible to file a bankruptcy case, and the court can 

dismiss any case you do file. If that happens, you will lose whatever filing fee you paid, and your creditors 

will be able to resume collection activities against you. If your case is dismissed and you file another 

bankruptcy case later, you may be required to pay a second filing fee and you may have to take extra steps 

to stop creditors' collection activities.

 Every individual debtor must file this Exhibit D. If a joint petition is filed, each spouse must complete and file 

a separate Exhibit D. Check one of the five statements below and attach any documents as directed.

 1. Within the 180 days before the filing of my bankruptcy case, I received a briefing from a credit 

counseling agency approved by the United States trustee or bankruptcy administrator that outlined the opportunities 

for available credit counseling and assisted me in performing a related budget analysis, and I have a certificate 

from the agency describing the services provided to me. Attach a copy of the certificate and a copy of any debt 

repayment plan developed through the agency.



 2. Within the 180 days before the filing of my bankruptcy case, I received a briefing from a credit 

counseling agency approved by the United States trustee or bankruptcy administrator that outlined the opportunities 

for available credit counseling and assisted me in performing a related budget analysis, but I do not have a 

certificate from the agency describing the services provided to me. You must file a copy of a certificate from the 

agency describing the services provided to you and a copy of any debt repayment plan developed through the 

agency no later than 14 days after your bankruptcy case is filed.



 3. I certify that I requested credit counseling services from an approved agency but was unable to 

obtain the services during the seven days from the time I made my request, and the following exigent 

circumstances merit a temporary waiver of the credit counseling requirement so I can file my bankruptcy case now. 

[Summarize exigent circumstances here.]



 If your certification is satisfactory to the court, you must still obtain the credit counseling briefing 

within the first 30 days after you file your bankruptcy petition and promptly file a certificate from the 

agency that provided the counseling, together with a copy of any debt management plan developed 

through the agency. Failure to fulfill these requirements may result in dismissal of your case. Any 

extension of the 30-day deadline can be granted only for cause and is limited to a maximum of 15 days. 

Your case may also be dismissed if the court is not satisfied with your reasons for filing your bankruptcy 

case without first receiving a credit counseling briefing.

UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS

NOTICE TO CONSUMER DEBTOR(S) UNDER § 342(b)

OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE

 In accordance with § 342(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, this notice to individuals with primarily consumer debts: (1) 

Describes briefly the services available from credit counseling services; (2) Describes briefly the purposes, benefits and 

costs of the four types of bankruptcy proceedings you may commence; and (3) Informs you about bankruptcy crimes and 

notifies you that the Attorney General may examine all information you supply in connection with a bankruptcy case.

 You are cautioned that bankruptcy law is complicated and not easily described. Thus, you may wish to seek the 

advice of an attorney to learn of your rights and responsibilities should you decide to file a petition. Court employees cannot 

give you legal advice.

 Notices from the bankruptcy court are sent to the mailing address you list on your bankruptcy petition. In order to 

ensure that you receive information about events concerning your case, Bankruptcy Rule 4002 requires that you notify the 

court of any changes in your address. If you are filing a joint case (a single bankruptcy case for two individuals married to 

each other), and each spouse lists the same mailing address on the bankruptcy petition, you and your spouse will generally 

receive a single copy of each notice mailed from the bankruptcy court in a jointly-addressed envelope, unless you file a 

statement with the court requesting that each spouse receive a separate copy of all notices.

1. Services Available from Credit Counseling Agencies

 With limited exceptions, § 109(h) of the Bankruptcy Code requires that all individual debtors who file for 

bankruptcy relief on or after October 17, 2005, receive a briefing that outlines the available opportunities for credit 

counseling and provides assistance in performing a budget analysis. The briefing must be given within 180 days 

before the bankruptcy filing. The briefing may be provided individually or in a group (including briefings conducted by 

telephone or on the Internet) and must be provided by a nonprofit budget and credit counseling agency approved by the 

United States trustee or bankruptcy administrator. The clerk of the bankruptcy court has a list that you may consult of the 

approved budget and credit counseling agencies. Each debtor in a joint case must complete the briefing.

 In addition, after filing a bankruptcy case, an individual debtor generally must complete a financial 

management instructional course before he or she can receive a discharge. The clerk also has a list of approved 

financial management instructional courses. Each debtor in a joint case must complete the course.

2. The Four Chapters of the Bankruptcy Code Available to Individual Consumer Debtors

 Chapter 7: Liquidation ($245 filing fee, $39 administrative fee, $15 trustee surcharge: Total fee $299)

 Chapter 7 is designed for debtors in financial difficulty who do not have the ability to pay their existing debts. 

Debtors whose debts are primarily consumer debts are subject to a “means test” designed to determine whether the case 

should be permitted to proceed under chapter 7. If your income is greater than the median income for your state of 

residence and family size, in some cases, the United States trustee (or bankruptcy administrator), the trustee, or creditors 

have the right to file a motion requesting that the court dismiss your case under § 707(b) of the Code. It is up to the court to 

decide whether the case should be dismissed. 

 Under chapter 7, you may claim certain of your property as exempt under governing law. A trustee may have the 

right to take possession of and sell the remaining property that is not exempt and use the sale proceeds to pay your 

creditors. 

 The purpose of filing a chapter 7 case is to obtain a discharge of your existing debts. If, however, you are found to 

have committed certain kinds of improper conduct described in the Bankruptcy Code, the court may deny your discharge 

and, if it does, the purpose for which you filed the bankruptcy petition will be defeated. 

 Even if you receive a general discharge, some particular debts are not discharged under the law. Therefore, you 

may still be responsible for most taxes and student loans; debts incurred to pay nondischargeable taxes; domestic support 

and property settlement obligations; most fines, penalties, forfeitures, and criminal restitution obligations; certain debts 

which are not properly listed in your bankruptcy papers; and debts for death or personal injury caused by operating a motor 

vehicle, vessel, or aircraft while intoxicated from alcohol or drugs. Also, if a creditor can prove that a debt arose from fraud, 

breach of fiduciary duty, or theft, or from a willful and malicious injury, the bankruptcy court may determine that the debt is 

not discharged.

 Document Page 6 of 12
Form B 201A, Notice to Consumer Debtor(s) Page 2

 Chapter 13: Repayment of All or Part of the Debts of an Individual with Regular Income ($235 filing fee, $39 

administrative fee: Total fee $274)

 Chapter 13 is designed for individuals with regular income who would like to pay all or part of 

their debts in installments over a period of time. You are only eligible for chapter 13 if your debts do not exceed certain dollar 

amounts set forth in the Bankruptcy Code. 

 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, using your future earnings. The period allowed by the court to repay your debts may be three years or five years, 

depending upon your income and other factors. The court must approve your plan before it can take effect. 

 After completing the payments under your plan, your debts are generally discharged except for domestic support 

obligations; most student loans; certain taxes; most criminal fines and restitution obligations; certain debts which are not 

properly listed in your bankruptcy papers; certain debts for acts that caused death or personal injury; and certain long term 

secured obligations. 

 Chapter 11: Reorganization ($1000 filing fee, $39 administrative fee: Total fee $1039)

 Chapter 11 is designed for the reorganization of a business but is also available to consumer debtors. Its provisions 

are quite complicated, and any decision by an individual to file a chapter 11 petition should be reviewed with an attorney. 

 Chapter 12: Family Farmer or Fisherman ($200 filing fee, $39 administrative fee: Total fee $239)

 Chapter 12 is designed to permit family farmers and fishermen to repay their debts over a period of time from 

future earnings and is similar to chapter 13. The eligibility requirements are restrictive, limiting its use to those whose 

income arises primarily from a family-owned farm or commercial fishing operation. 

3. Bankruptcy Crimes and Availability of Bankruptcy Papers to Law Enforcement Officials

 A person who knowingly and fraudulently conceals assets or makes a false oath or statement under penalty of 

perjury, either orally or in writing, in connection with a bankruptcy case is subject to a fine, imprisonment, or both. All 

information supplied by a debtor in connection with a bankruptcy case is subject to examination by the Attorney General 

acting through the Office of the United States Trustee, the Office of the United States Attorney, and other components and 

employees of the Department of Justice. 

WARNING: Section 521(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code requires that you promptly file detailed information regarding your 

creditors, assets, liabilities, income, expenses and general financial condition. Your bankruptcy case may be dismissed if 

this information is not filed with the court within the time deadlines set by the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and 

the local rules of the court. The documents and the deadlines for filing them are listed on Form B200, which is posted at 

http://www.uscourts.gov/bkforms/bankruptcy_forms.html#procedure.

Many filing deadlines change on December 1, 2009. Of special note, 12 rules that set 15 days to act are amended to 

require action within 14 days, including Rule 1007(c), filing the initial case papers; Rule 3015(b), filing a chapter 13 

plan; Rule 8009(a), filing appellate briefs; and Rules 1019, 1020, 2015, 2015.1, 2016, 4001, 4002, 6004, and 6007.
