Note - Most US Courts require Chapter 7 bankruptcy forms submitted by attorneys to be in electronic format (i.e. via online account or in diskette form). Individual filers are usually allowed to submit paper Chapter 7 bankruptcy forms, but may further (probably) require individuals to follow the "Mailing Matrix Format" when submitting the List of Creditors. In essence, this format requires strict compliance to allow scanners to read documents and prepare a computer mailing list for the Court. Anyone who is not already familiar with the Clerk's filing process should call in advance and inquire about required documents, filing hours, fees, and local rules. Local Clerk's may require additional procedures or documents.
