What to Check

Check the governing law, filing type, petition date, court record, claim class, priority, stay status, plan terms, collateral, creditor vote, discharge scope, and settlement evidence.

Common Mistakes

  • Treating all bankruptcy chapters or insolvency labels as the same process.
  • Ignoring claim priority, collateral, court orders, stay status, and plan confirmation.
  • Assuming settlement or forgiveness has the same financial and tax effect in every case.
  • Using legal labels without checking jurisdiction and case documents.
