CHAPTER 13 PLAN INFORMATION

 

Due to the dynamic nature of the new Chapter 13 Plan fillable form, the chapter 13 plan must be printed as a PDF or scanned as a PDF before it is uploaded to CM/ECF.  If the fillable version of the form is uploaded, it will not properly save in the system.

To save a version of the plan for upload, please go to the File menu in either Adobe Reader, Adobe Pro, or your preferred PDF software and select Print.  Under the printer options menu, select your PDF Software as the name of the printer.  For example, select Adobe PDF if you use Adobe. The system will then guide you through saving the document as a completed PDF form.  Or, you may print the Chapter 13 Plan and scan to PDF using your scanner.

After you upload your plan in the system, please check CM/ECF to see that it has uploaded properly, by checking to see if a file stamp footer is stamped on the bottom page of the plan.  The clerk's office can notice only the plans filed on the same day as the petition, so if the first plan does not contain a file stamp, please immediately upload a correctly saved plan the same day as you upload your petition. Otherwise, YOU will have to notice the plan and file a certificate of service.
