Michigan Statement and Proof of Claim is a form used by creditors in Michigan to register a claim against a debtor’s assets in the event of a bankruptcy. The form includes the name of the creditor, the amount and type of debt (i.e. credit card debt, medical debt, etc.), the date the debt was incurred, and other important information. The form must be signed by the creditor and filed with the bankruptcy court. There are two types of Michigan Statement and Proof of Claim: secured and unsecured. A secured claim is one where the creditor has a lien on the debtor’s assets, such as a house or car, and is often used in cases of foreclosure. An unsecured claim is one where the creditor does not have a lien on the debtor’s assets and is used in cases of credit card debt or medical debt. Both types of claims must be filed with the bankruptcy court in order for the creditor to be repaid.
