Understanding Bankruptcy Creditor Claims

A creditor claim is a formal statement that a party is owed money in a bankruptcy case.

We help with proofs of claim, objections, and negotiations to protect your financial rights.

Definition and Explanation

In bankruptcy, a creditor claim is filed with the court to establish how much is owed and when it will be paid.

Key Terms and Glossary

Common terms you may see include proof of claim, priority claim, objection, and secured status.

Proof of Claim

A form filed with the bankruptcy court to request payment from the debtor.

Priority Claim

A claim paid before other unsecured claims, such as certain taxes and domestic support obligations.

Secured Claim

A claim backed by collateral, which may influence repayment in the bankruptcy plan.
