ePOC Electronic Claims Filing Information
Filing a Proof of Claim Electronically
-
Creditors are requested to file Proof of Claim forms for all chapters electronically using the ePOC program. A login/password is not required.
-
The ePOC program contains a fillable B410 proof of claim form, and supplemental documentation to the claim may be attached in pdf format. Please do not attach a proof of claim form; one will be created by the program.
-
The address of the creditor is automatically added to the mailing matrix of the case when the proof of claim is filed to ensure service of case-wide documents.
-
Amended Claims – If the claim amends a claim previously filed in the case, check the box indicating that the claim amends a previously filed claim and select the claim number being amended from the dropdown list.
-
The name and complete address of the creditor, or other person authorized to file a proof of claim, must appear on the claim form. Filing a proof of claim electronically deems the claim signed by the creditor or authorized person.
-
IMPORTANT NOTICE OF REDACTION RESPONSIBILITY: All filers must redact: Social Security or taxpayer identification numbers; dates of birth; names of minor children; and financial account numbers, in compliance with Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9037. This requirement applies to all documents, including attachments.
- The ePOC claim filing program is for use by creditors only. Attorneys should log into the CM/ECF system to file proofs of claim.
