What is a post-petition claim?

A post-petition claim in Florida is a type of creditors’ rights law that is made after a petition for bankruptcy has been filed. This type of claim is used when the debtor does not have enough assets to be able to pay off all of their creditors, so they use a petition to attempt to reorganize their debts. A post-petition claim is a type of creditor’s rights law that allows the creditor to collect any outstanding balances owed to them. This type of claim is not given priority over pre-petition claims, which are those given priority during the bankruptcy proceedings. The post-petition claim allows the creditor to collect on a debt that was not included in the original petition. The post-petition claim is also used to collect debts that are not included in the bankruptcy proceedings. This could include any debts that were incurred after the bankruptcy proceedings have taken place, such as medical bills, back taxes, or other debts. The post-petition claim gives the creditor the ability to seek payment from the debtor after the bankruptcy proceedings have been completed. In order to pursue a post-petition claim, the creditor must provide proof to the court that the debt was incurred after the bankruptcy proceedings started. This proof is typically in the form of documents that show the date of the debt and the amount owed. The creditor must also demonstrate that they have taken reasonable steps to collect the debt before filing the post-petition claim. Once the post-petition claim has been filed, the court will then decide if the creditor should be allowed to collect the debt. If so, the court will set a payment plan for the debtor to pay back the debt in installments over a set period of time. The court may also require that the debtor post a bond to ensure that they will make the payments in a timely manner.
