Frequently asked questions

Q

What grounds can I use to object to a proof of claim?

A

Common grounds include insufficient documentation, mathematical errors, statute of limitations defenses, improper classification (secured vs. unsecured, priority status), lack of standing by the claimant, and claims that exceed the amount actually owed. CaseMark analyzes your case documents to identify which grounds apply and develops specific arguments for each basis of objection.

Q

How does CaseMark determine the legal arguments for my objection?

A

CaseMark reviews the proof of claim against your case documents to identify discrepancies, missing documentation, and legal deficiencies. It then applies relevant provisions of the Bankruptcy Code (particularly 11 U.S.C. § 502), Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, and controlling case law to construct persuasive legal arguments tailored to your specific objection grounds.
