What is a “creditor’s exam” in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy?

A creditor’s exam is a hearing that is held in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case. During this hearing, a trustee, or another designated individual, will examine the debtor (the person filing for bankruptcy), as well as anyone else who may be associated or affiliated with the debtor, regarding the debtor’s recent financial history. The purpose of a creditor’s exam is to ensure that all of the debtor’s financial information is accurate and up-to-date. This includes information about assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and any other type of financial transaction that may have taken place in the recent past. This information is important for the court to have in order to come to a fair and equitable solution regarding the repayment of the debtor’s debts. During the creditor’s exam, the examiner will question the debtor and any other individuals involved in the case. The examiner may ask questions about the individual’s income, assets, liabilities, and any other type of financial transaction that may have recently taken place. The examiner may also require the production of certain documents, such as bank statements, tax returns, and other financial documents. The outcome of the creditor’s exam is important, as it helps the court determine the best way to repay the debtor’s debts. If the exam reveals that the debtor has the ability to repay their debts, the court may allow the debtor to enter into a repayment plan. If the exam determines that the debtor does not have the ability to repay their debts, the court may enter an order for the debt to be discharged or reduced.
