3 Foreword This book is provided as a ready reference to acquaint credit union employees with the concept of bankruptcy and to provide information that will be helpful in handling the most common situations encountered in consumer bankruptcies. However, in reading the materials, it is important to remember that even though bankruptcy courts are all part of the Federal Judiciary System, procedures and rules vary from one district to the next. Each court establishes its own set of local rules that can vary how claims, hearings, and documents are processed. Therefore, it is very important that each credit union employee familiarize themselves with the local rules and procedures that have been implemented in the area where they are located. If local rules are not followed, your credit union can find itself in the position of not being paid, not being allowed to pursue a valid course of action, or having a claim disallowed. Nothing contained in this book should be considered as legal advice. When adopting policies, each credit union should obtain the advice of its legal counsel. iii
