About Bankruptcy in Paramount

Paramount Bankruptcy Court Resources

Official federal bankruptcy resources for Paramount residents are published by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California. The court offers Electronic Self-Representation for eligible self-represented individuals in the district. These materials are procedural information and do not replace legal advice from a qualified attorney.

Electronic Self-Representation

eSR is an online tool for individual debtors who decide to prepare a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 petition without an attorney. The court recommends legal advice because bankruptcy can have serious long-term consequences. eSR is not available to attorneys, petition preparers, or business and corporate filers. The court’s ZIP-code search determines whether a Central District resident may use eSR.

Review Central District eSR eligibility and process information.

Credit Counseling, Required Documents, and Fees

The court states that approved credit counseling is required before filing. A case is not filed, and the automatic stay is not in effect, until the court receives the required declaration, Social Security statement, creditor mailing list, and filing fee. Review the current court fee and location information before acting.
