Important Disclosure

Important Disclosure Regarding Bankruptcy Document Preparation (11 U.S.C. § 110)

We are not attorneys and do not provide legal advice.


Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 110, we act solely as a bankruptcy petition preparer, meaning our services are limited to clerical assistance only. Specifically:

  • We may type information that you provide into official bankruptcy forms.
  • We do not advise you on:
    • Whether you should file bankruptcy;
    • Which chapter to file under (Chapter 7 or Chapter 13);
    • How to classify or treat debts;
    • What property to list or how to claim exemptions;
    • What forms to complete;
    • How to complete or modify a Chapter 13 plan;
    • The legal consequences of bankruptcy.
       

Any decisions reflected in your documents are entirely yours and must be based on your own understanding or advice from a licensed attorney.


Chapter 13 Plan Disclosure

  • Fresh Start Bankruptcy Services does not prepare, draft, design, calculate, or advise on Chapter 13 repayment plans.
  • If you are filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the Chapter 13 plan must be created and completed by you or your attorney. Our role is strictly limited to typing the plan exactly as provided by you, without modification, recommendation, or review.
  • We do not determine plan terms, payment amounts, duration, feasibility, or creditor treatment. We do not review Chapter 13 plans for accuracy, completeness, or legal sufficiency.

If you require assistance creating or understanding a Chapter 13 plan, you should consult a licensed bankruptcy attorney, as Chapter 13 cases involve complex legal requirements.

Required Information and Signatures

As required by federal law:

  • We will place our name, address, and identifying number on all documents we prepare.
  • We will provide you with a copy of every document we prepare for you.
  • We will file the required Declaration of Non-Attorney Bankruptcy Petition Preparer with the court disclosing our fees.

Fees and Court Filing Costs

  • Our fee is solely for document preparation services and does not include court filing fees.
  • We do not collect, receive, or handle court filing fees on your behalf.
  • All fees charged by us are fully disclosed in advance and will be separately disclosed to the bankruptcy court as required by law.

Fee Limits and Reasonableness

Federal law permits bankruptcy courts to review the fees charged by non-attorney bankruptcy petition preparers for reasonableness.

  • At present, (OTHER THAN MARYLAND) none of the jurisdictions in which we offer services impose a fixed or published cap on bankruptcy petition preparer fees.
  • If any jurisdiction we serve adopts a fee cap or guideline, that limitation will be clearly identified and reflected as a separate, jurisdiction-specific option in our fee schedule.

Your Rights

By working with us, you understand and acknowledge that:

  • You have the right to consult with a licensed bankruptcy attorney at any time.
  • Court clerks may provide procedural information, but cannot give legal advice.
  • You are responsible for reviewing all documents for accuracy before filing.

Acknowledgement

By using our services, you acknowledge that you understand:

  • We are not attorneys; 
  • We cannot give legal advice; 
  • Our role is limited to clerical document preparation as defined by 11 U.S.C. § 110.
