Am I a Claimant/Creditor?

​We cannot provide you legal advice or make a determination as to whether you are a claimant/creditor. You are only considered a claimant/creditor in the case if you are owed money or property by a Defendant. The Defendants in this Case that you may have or you may assert a Claim against can be found here. ​We recommend that you consult with an attorney for further explanation.

What is a Proof of Claim form?

The Proof of Claim form is the document that must be completed by a creditor to assert a claim against the Receivership. For more information on the claims process, please visit here.

Can I e-mail, fax, or mail the Proof of Claim Form?

No. Proof of Claim submissions by e-mail, fax, or mail will not be accepted. The only Court approved method of filing a claim is through the online portal.

Can I send the Proof of Claim Form to the Receiver, Defendants, or their professionals?

No. Proofs of Claim should not be filed with the Court, or sent to the Receiver, his legal counsel, retained professionals, or otherwise delivered to a Defendant, and any Proof of Claim so filed or sent will not be considered properly submitted.

I need help completing the Proof of Claim Form. Can you help?

The Receiver and his claims agent are not authorized to assist you with completing the Proof of Claim forms or providing you with legal advice. If you require further assistance in filling out the Proof of Claim form, you may wish to contact legal counsel.

What is the process once my Proof of Claim is filed?

Once the proofs of claim are filed, the Receiver will review them to confirm whether they have been properly completed and whether the records of the Receivership Entities support each claim. Distribution on claims with which the Receiver is in agreement will be paid pursuant to a distribution plan that will be ordered by the Court at a future date, following the conclusion of the claims process.  This process normally takes several months but can also last longer.

Do I need to submit a Proof of Claim? Who should submit a Proof of Claim?

A Notice of Bar Date and Procedures for Submitting a Proof of Claim (the “Notice”) is being sent to many individuals and entities that have had some relationship or have done business with the Defendants. The fact that a person or entity received a notice does not necessarily mean the recipient has a Claim, or that the Court or the Receiver believes the recipient has a Claim against one of the Defendants or the Receivership Estate.

​

Except as otherwise provided by the court, ALL individuals and entities (including, without limitation, partnerships, corporations, joint ventures, estates, trusts, and governmental units or authorities) that believe they possess a Defendant-Related Claim, a potential or claimed right to payment, or a potential claim of any nature, against any of the Defendants and believe that they are owed money by, or are entitled to a distribution from, the Receivership Estate must submit a Proof of Claim.
