Notice of Potential Proof of Claim Scam
Tuesday, March 3, 2026
If you are a creditor and receive a form in the mail for filing a Proof of Claim (POC) through the services of a non-governmental agency for a fee, this may be a scam. Please be advised that creditors may file an electronic Proof of Claim (ePOC), amend a claim, or file claim attachments pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3002(c)(7)(B) for free and without logging into or being required to have a login and password for CM/ECF. If a claims agent is appointed to the case, the proof of claim must be filed directly with the agent, without incurring any fees. Again, no fees are associated with when using an electronic Proof of Claim (ePOC), which is linked below, or when a case has an appointed claims agent.
