Transfer of Claim

Last Updated: March 2023

General Information:

• If a claim has been transferred other than for security after the Proof of Claim has been filed, evidence of the transfer must be filed with the court.

• If the Transfer of Claim is filed by the transferee (the party receiving the claim), the court will issue a notice to the transferor (the original holder of the claim) giving them opportunity to object to the transfer.

• Reminder:  Redact private information.

Filing Requirements:

• Transfer of Claim should conform with Official Form B 210A.

§                Transferee's and Transferor's names and addresses must be clearly identified, with the amount of the claim, and must be signed by the filing party.

Note: If claim amount is incorrect, nothing further and trustee will deal with issue. (updated 10/16/20)

§                The document must specify which claim is being transferred, using the Court claim number (this can be located in ECF by going to Reports > Claims Register).
