Chapter 13 Case Management

Outsourcing the Chapter 13 process is a cost effective alternative for credit grantors that are unable to devote the necessary resources to their internal staff to insure that proofs of claim are administered properly.  Although preparing a claim for filing with the court may seem simple in concept, a routine audit of a typical creditor’s bankruptcy process may reveal numerous problems.

• Missed bar dates leading to unfiled claims. 
• Use of outdated bankruptcy claim forms. 
• Outdated filing procedures (including filing claims by mail). 
• Claim documents not completed and/or redacted properly pursuant to Bankruptcy Rules. 
• Inadequate controls to insure electronically signed claims are reviewed and approved prior to submission.  
• Poorly defined claim preparation procedures and retention policies for electronically filed claims. 
• Missing documentation to properly identify the account, support the claim balance, prove a security interest, or establish collateral value.

• Detailed account review with requests for supporting claim documentation as needed.
• Claim preparation with detailed documentation to support account balance and/or prove a security interest.
• Monitoring case for deadlines to insure that claims are filed timely and bar dates are not missed.
• Industry Best Practices for review, approval and proper redaction of claims prior to submission (no Robo-Signing!).
• National Electronic Case Filing (ECF) with clearly defined procedures for retention of original signed ECF claim documents.
