B 10 (Official Form 10) (12/12)	 	3 	 __________DEFINITIONS__________	 	 ______INFORMATION______	 	 Debtor	 	A debtor is the person, corporation, or other entity 
that has filed a bankruptcy case.	 	 Creditor	 	A creditor is a person, corporation, or other entity to whom debtor owes a debt that was incurred before the date of the bankruptcy filing. See 11 U.S.C. §101 	(10).	 	 Claim	 	A claim is the creditor’s right to receive payment for a debt owed by the debtor on the date of the bankruptcy filing. See 11 U.S.C. §101 (5). A claim may be secured or unsecured.	 	 Proof of Claim	 	A proof of claim is a form used by the creditor to indicate the amount of the debt owed by the debtor on the date of the bankruptcy filing. The creditor must file the form with the clerk of the same bankruptcy court in which the bankruptcy case was filed.	 	 Secured Claim Under 11 U.S.C. § 506 (a)	 	 A secured claim is one backed by a lien on property of the debtor. The claim is secured so long as the creditor has the right to be paid from the property prior to other creditors. The amount of the secured claim c	annot exceed the value of the property. Any 	amount owed to the creditor in excess of the value of the property is an unsecured claim. Examples of liens on property include a mortgage on real estate or a security interest in a car. A lien may be voluntarily	 	granted by a debtor or may be obtained through a court proceeding. In some states, a court judgment is a lien.	 	
 A claim also may be secured if the creditor owes 
the debtor money (has a right to setoff).	 	 Unsecured Claim	 	An unsecured claim is one that doe	s not meet the 	requirements of a secured claim. A claim may be partly unsecured if the amount of the claim exceeds the value of the property on which the creditor has a lien.	 	 Claim Entitled to Priority Under 11 U.S.C. § 507	 	(a) Priorit	y claims are certain categories of unsecured 	claims that are paid from the available money or property in a bankruptcy case before other unsecured claims.	 	 Redacted	 	A document has been redacted when the person filing it has masked, edited out, or otherwise	 deleted, 	certain information. A creditor must show only the last four digits of any social	-security, individual’s tax 	-identification, or financial	-account number, only the 	initials of a minor’s name, and only the year of any person’s date of birth. If th	e claim is based on the 	delivery of health care goods or services, limit the disclosure of the goods or services so as to avoid embarrassment or the disclosure of confidential health care information.	 	 Evidence of Perfection	 	 Evidence of perfection may inc	lude a mortgage, lien, 	certificate of title, financing statement, or other document showing that the lien has been filed or recorded.	 	
 Acknowledgment of Filing of Claim	 	To receive acknowledgment of your filing, you may either enclose a sta	mped self 	-addressed envelope 	and a copy of this proof of claim or you may access the court’s PACER system (www.pacer.psc.uscourts.gov	) for a small fee to 	view	 your filed proof of claim.	 	 Offers to Purchase a Claim	 	Certain entities are in the business of p	urchasing 	claims for an amount less than the face value of the claims. One or more of these entities may contact the creditor and offer to purchase the claim. Some of the written communications from these entities may easily be confused with official court	 documentation 	or communications from the debtor. These entities do not represent the bankruptcy court or the debtor. The creditor has no obligation to sell its claim. However, if the creditor decides to sell its claim, any transfer of such claim is subjec	t to FRBP 3001(e), any 	applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 101 	et seq	.), and any applicable orders of 	the bankruptcy court.
