"Colorado Chapter 13 Plan"
In Colorado bankruptcy cases filed under Chapter 13 of the Code, a plan of reorganization is required that
proposes repayment of all, or part, of total debts owed to creditors. Confirmation of the plan is required based
on the court's assessment of compliance with applicable bankruptcy laws, including turn over of all disposable
income to the trustee.
| 11 U.S.C. §1322(a): "The plan shall - (1) provide for the submission of all or such
portion of future earnings or other future income of the debtor to the supervision and control of the trustee
as is necessary for the execution of the plan; (2) provide for the full payment, in deferred cash payments,
of all claims entitled to priority under section 507 of this title, unless the holder of a particular claim agrees
to a different treatment of such claim; and (3) if the plan classifies claims, provide the same treatment
for each claim within a particular class." |
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).
