"Colorado Chapter 13 Forms"

To initiate a Colorado bankruptcy plan under Chapter 13, a petition must be filed, supplemented by complete list of creditors and related documents and schedules. Many courts today accept only forms prepared electronically on official forms and further require either online filing or submission on computer diskette.

Effective as of December 1, 2003, the official forms required in Chapter 13 hanged. Previously, social security numbers were published within documents and schedules a were available to the public. The current changes prohibit this practice.  The person responsible for filing documents, and not the Clerk's Office, trustee or the courts, is responsible for insuring the privacy of debtors.

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).
