"Colorado Bankruptcy List"
Each clerk maintains records of all pending cases, and frequently, closed case information for a few years.
Most older closed cases were filed using paper documents which are held in archives. Pulling copies of archived
paper documents requires payment of a fee and may take months.
| Rule 5003 of the Federal Bankruptcy Rules of Procedure provides, in part, "(a) Bankruptcy
Dockets. The clerk shall keep a docket in each case under the Code and shall enter thereon each judgment,
order, and activity in that case as prescribed by the Director of the Administrative Office of the United
States Courts. The entry of a judgment or order in a docket shall show the date the entry is made. (b)
Claims Register. The clerk shall keep in a claims register a list of claims filed in a case when it appears
that there will be a distribution to unsecured creditors." |
NOTE: Spanish language forms and information may be obtained from a various websites, including the United
State Department of Justice, Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, and other US Court sites. Regarding these
forms, the Colorado Bankruptcy Court advises "While we have no reason to believe that these Spanish language
forms or information have been translated inaccurately, only the English language forms are officially
prescribed by the Judicial Conference of the United States Courts. Accordingly, the Court for the District of
Colorado can not guarantee the accuracy or sufficiency of information contained in Spanish language forms or
informational documents." The Colorado Bankruptcy Court also maintains a pro bono program to assist qualified
debtors with adversary proceedings (not available to file petitions to initiate Ch. 7 or 13 cases).
