How to File a Claim

To file a claim for a case in the Central District of California, complete a proof of claim form (see below).  Do not include any personal identifiers on the form. In compliance with Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9037 a filing (any document or attachment to a document) made with the Court must not contain certain information, including (1) an individual's social security number, (2) a taxpayer identification number, (3) an individual's birth date, (4) the name of a minor, or (5) a financial account number.

Such information must removed or edited. The document shall only contain:

  1. The last four digits of the social security number and taxpayer-identification number

  2. The year of the individual's birth

  3. The minor's initials

  4. The last four digits of the financial account number

The party filing a document is responsible for redaction. The Clerk's Office does not review documents filed with the court for compliance with this rule.

If mailing your claim form, send it to the office where the case was filed.
