"Colorado Convert Chapter 7"
A conversion of a Colorado bankruptcy case from Chapter 7 to Chapter 13 fundamentally changes the nature of
the proceeding. Rather than discharge all unsecured debts, full or partial payments are required for all debts
during the duration of the plan term. Conversion of a Colorado bankruptcy case to Chapter 13 does however allow
all past due payments to be included within the plan, as if paid current.
| 11 U.S.C. §706(a0 provides, in part, "The debtor may convert a case under this chapter to a
case under chapter 11, 12, or 13 of this title at any time, if the case has not been converted under section
1112, 1208, or 1307 of this title. Any waiver of the right to convert a case under this subsection is
unenforceable." |
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).
