"Colorado Filing Chapter 7"
Filing a Colorado bankruptcy case under Chapter 7 stops foreclosures and creditor collections. Filing may be
accomplished partially, that is, by submitting core documents and the filing fee, and supplementing within a few
days.
| The Uniform Local Bankruptcy Rules, under Rule 6(a) provide "The clerk shall be under
no duty to file paperwork submitted to the clerk in disarray. The attorney filing any voluntary or involuntary
petition shall personally review all petitions, schedules, statements and other supporting documents
before delivery to the clerk and shall ensure that all carbon paper shall have been removed and that
all such paperwork shall be arranged in logical order. An original and four (4) copies of a petition, schedules,
statements and other supporting documents under chapter 7, chapter 12 and chapter 13 of the code shall be
filed. An original and six (6) copies of a petition, schedules, statements and other supporting documents
shall be filed in all chapter 9 and chapter 11 cases." |
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).
