To improve the accuracy of the Bankruptcy Case Opening process and in response to our customers' concerns, the system will be modified to require that the county field be completed for each case. Currently, the system defaults the county field to Cook, and while the majority of cases are filed in Cook, this default has sometimes resulted in assignment errors that require correction and delay the release of the 341 notice. Failure to complete the county field will result in a error message that must be corrected in order to complete the filing of the case. This change will be effective Wednesday, February 27, 2008 at approximately 8:00 am. Thank you for your cooperation.
