"Colorado Bankruptcy Schedules"
In all Colorado bankruptcy cases under Chapters 7 and 13, debtors must provide the court with required
disclosures including all assets, liabilities, and creditors. In addition, many other financial disclosures are
required. The compiled set of disclosures comprise multiple schedules of items according to classifications used
by the court. Stated similarly, schedules are lists of items requested by the court in a format required by law.
All Colorado bankruptcy courts require conformity with the Federal Rules of Bk. Procedure which incorporate local
rules in all Colorado bankruptcy proceedings.
| 11 U.S.C. §110(h): (1) Within 10 days after the date of the filing of a petition, a bankruptcy petition
preparer shall file a declaration under penalty of perjury disclosing any fee received from or on behalf
of the debtor within 12 months immediately prior to the filing of the case, and any unpaid fee charged to
the debtor. (2) The court shall disallow and order the immediate turnover to the bankruptcy trustee
of any fee referred to in paragraph (1) found to be in excess of the value of services rendered for the
documents prepared. An individual debtor may exempt any funds so recovered under section 522(b).(3) The debtor,
the trustee, a creditor, or the United States trustee may file a motion for an order under paragraph (2).(4) A
bankruptcy petition preparer shall be fined not more than $500 for each failure to comply with a court order
to turn over funds within 30 days of service of such order." |
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).
