Lincoln residents are served by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of Illinois. People may file without an attorney, but the court explains that its staff cannot provide legal advice or prepare bankruptcy forms for a filer.
The Central District of Illinois provides electronic self-representation (eSR) for qualifying individual Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filers. The court also provides an Electronic Document Submission System for certain self-represented document submissions. An electronic submission is not necessarily an immediate filing or case number; follow the court’s directions for required documents and any time-sensitive filing need.
The court publishes national and local forms, fee information, and instructions for self-represented parties. A fee installment request or Chapter 7 fee-waiver application remains subject to the court’s requirements and processing.
