What is a lender’s proof of claim in Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?

A lender’s proof of claim in Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is a legal document filed by the lender with the court, which states an unpaid debt that the bankrupt person owes the creditor. This document is generally required to be filed within ninety days of the date of the initial bankruptcy filing. The proof of claim will describe the terms of the loan agreement, the amount of money owed, the date the debt was incurred, the maturity date, and other information relevant to the loan. It also outlines the security that the lender holds in order to enforce the debt, and any other relevant documents that may be needed in order for the bankruptcy process to move forward. The proof of claim is the way the court determines the extent of the lender’s entitlement to repayment out of the debtor’s assets or income. If the debtor fails to make payments as required by Chapter 13 Bankruptcy law, the lender may submit its proof of claim to the court and seek further payments. In addition to filing a proof of claim in Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, lenders can also file a motion with the court that requests a determination of the extent of the creditor’s claim. The motion will include a request that the court grant a lien or security interest in the debtor’s assets, as well as a request for reimbursement for any debts that have been satisfied through the bankruptcy proceedings. This motion is important for the lender to ensure that it receives the full amount due to them.
