Overview
of Case Filing Options
Last Updated: January 3, 2017
There are three options to choose
from when filing a new case:
Conventional (Open a Bk Case):
Using the conventional CM/ECF system, the attorney creates
a PDF file of documents (or multiple PDFs) and a text file
of the creditor matrix in his or her bankruptcy software or
word processing program. The attorney then points his
or her browser to the court’s web site and logs on and files
a case following the screens.
Case Upload: Using your
software as usual, create/save the following documents:
Debtor
information (.txt file)
Voluntary
Petition (.pdf file)
Mailing
matrix (.txt file)
Statement
of Social Security Number (.pdf file)
Certificate
of Credit Counseling (.pdf file)
Statement
of Monthly Income (.pdf file)
Employee
Income Records (.pdf file)
Chapter
13 Plan, if applicable (.pdf file)
Once these files
are saved, you go to the court’s web site, log on and click on
Bankruptcy > Case Upload.
Enter the paths to locate the files.
Bankruptcy Software's ECF Filing
System: Most bankruptcy software programs will submit
files without going through any question and answer screens
on the court’s ECF site. It makes the entire electronic filing
process easier and faster for attorneys and their staff, integrating
the ECF upload process with attorney’s bankruptcy software.
Note: Contact your bankruptcy software vendor if you
have any questions.
