Debtor(s) Chapter 7

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.

 4. I am not required to receive a credit counseling briefing because of: [Check the applicable

statement.] [Must be accompanied by a motion for determination by the court.]

both spouses is combined. If the case is filed under chapter 12 or chapter 13, a married debtor must furnish information for both spouses whether or

not a joint petition is filed, unless the spouses are separated and a joint petition is not filed. An individual debtor engaged in business as a sole

proprietor, partner, family farmer, or self-employed professional, should provide the information requested on this statement concerning all such

activities as well as the individual's personal affairs. To indicate payments, transfers and the like to minor children, state the child's initials and the

to any question, use and attach a separate sheet properly identified with the case name, case number (if known), and the number of the question.

the following: an officer, director, managing executive, or owner of 5 percent or more of the voting or equity securities of a corporation; a partner,

other than a limited partner, of a partnership; a sole proprietor or self-employed full-time or part-time. An individual debtor also may be "in business"

for the purpose of this form if the debtor engages in a trade, business, or other activity, other than as an employee, to supplement income from the

debtor's primary employment.

"Insider." The term "insider" includes but is not limited to: relatives of the debtor; general partners of the debtor and their relatives;

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.

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)

Software Copyright (c) 1996-2009 Best Case Solutions - Evanston, IL - (800) 492-8037 Best Case Bankruptcy

 Document Page 35 of 39
Form B 201A, Notice to Consumer Debtor(s) Page 2

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.
