Michigan Bankruptcy Listing:

Current pending Michigan bankruptcy cases are listed on the court's docket. The PACER system is a federal data base which is available online, for a fee, which provides access to the docket listing and case information.

Rule 5003 of the Federal Bankruptcy Rules of Procedure provides, in part, " (d) Index of Cases; Certificate of Search. The clerk shall keep indices of all cases and adversary proceedings as prescribed by the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts. On request, the clerk shall make a search of any index and papers in the clerk's custody and certify whether a case or proceeding has been filed in or transferred to the court or if a discharge has been entered in its records."

NOTICE OF AMENDED FORMS AND AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENTS TO DOLLAR AMOUNTS: On April 1, 2004, automatic adjustments to the dollar amounts stated in various provisions of the Code will become effective in Michigan Bankruptcy Courts. The new dollar amounts will apply to cases filed after the effective date. These amended dollar amounts will affect the eligibility of a debtor to file under Chapter 13 of the Code, certain maximum values of property that a debtor may claim as exempt, the maximum amount of certain claims entitled to priority, the minimum aggregate value of claims needed to commence an involuntary petition, and the value of luxury foods and services deemed to be nondischargeable. The Michigan Bankruptcy Courts will adopt new forms to incorporate these changes beginning April 1, 2004.
