Statement regarding completion of counseling

If the debtor fails to submit the required certification, the Court shall close the case without granting a discharge. Notice will be sent to the debtor, trustee and all creditors on the case. The debtor can subsequently move to reopen the case to request that the discharge be granted. The fee to reopen the case must be charged. Since there has been some confusion regarding which document should be filed with the Court, if either the Official Form or a certificate furnished by a provider is filed, either will suffice for purposes of meeting this requirement through April 2, 2006. Effective Monday, April 3, 2006, the Official Form must be filed. Attach any certificates to the Official form. Use the event, Financial Management Course, to file the form. Call the ECF Help Desk at 312-408-7765 with questions.
