Filing
Proofs of Claim
in Bankruptcy Cases
A NorthLegal Webinar
(Presented October 28, 2010). (Approximately
2:03 hr:min)
| |
Filing
proofs of claim is one of the most basic responsibilities
of a bankruptcy professional -- but that doesn't make it
an easy thing to do properly!
And
there can be problems if you don't do it properly.
If
you don't include sufficient information a growing number
of courts will reject the claim. But if you include too
much information you may be subject to suit and sanctions. Value
collateral too high or too low and you may lose money. Don't
file a claim at all (even if you are told not to
file a claim by the court) and you can lose significant rights!
Proofs of claim are not something you can afford to do wrong! |
During this
program, attorney Eric North talks with participants about
when, how, and why to complete proofs of claim that will protect
your company's interests while minimizing the chance of lawsuit
or sanctions.
Participants will learn: |
|
Several
bankruptcy court decisions have placed creditors at a
disadvantage for obeying court instructions not to
file a proof of claim! Find out why! |
| • |
When
you should file a proof of claim and when you shouldn't. (Hint:
You can't necessarily trust what the court tells you in the bankruptcy
notice!) |
| • |
What
documents should be included with the filing to survive a challenge? |
| • |
Why some creditors have been punished by courts for
including "private" information in proofs of claim, and how to avoid
having that happen to you. |
| • |
How
stating the wrong property
"value" on the claim can cost you big bucks. |
• |
How
to file a proof of claim in a Chapter 13 case if you are "under-secured." |
| • |
What
happens if you fail to file a proof of claim and what your options
are for fixing it. |
| • |
How
cross-collateralization affects the way a proof of claim is prepared. |
and much more!
