"Colorado Chapter 7 Forms"
To file, all Colorado bankruptcy cases under Chapter 7 cases must be initiate by filing a petition, list of
creditors, and related documentations. Typically, a free set of documents and forms, including instructions, is
available through the clerk's office.
| Effective as of December 1, 2003, the official forms required in Chapter 7changed. These
changes prohibit the previous practice of publishing debtors' full social security number in publicly
available documents and schedules. The person responsible for filing documents, and not the Clerk's Office
or the courts, is responsible for redacting all but the last four digits. |
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).
