After a creditor/creditor's attorney completes their portion of the package, the file can then be emailed to the debtor's attorney. The debtor's attorney completes the debtor's portion of the questionnaire and saves the file. Once the debtor signs a hard copy of the Reaffirmation Agreement Package, the hard copy can be mailed to the creditor/creditor's attorney and the PDF can be emailed. Upon the creditor/creditor's attorney's receipt of both the hard copy (containing original signatures) and the emailed PDF, they can prepare the Package for filing.

PREPARING THE PACKAGE FOR FILING

When all questions have been answered, click the Prepare for Filing button on page 4 of the Questionnaire (see Figure 3). Doing so deletes the Questionnaire from the Package, saves the PDF, and locks the document so it cannot be edited.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  1. Before preparing the document for filing, both parties should be sure to answer all applicable questions and ensure the correct Presumption of Undue Hardship box is checked on Page 1 of the Reaffirmation Documents. See question 3.A on the Reaffirmation Documents to determine which box should be checked
  2. Click the 'Prepare for Filing' button DOES NOT e-file the document. The button merely prepares the document to be e-filed. To file the document you must log into CM/ECF and file the package using the Reaffirmation Agreement event, located in the Bankruptcy -> Misc. Events category.
