informal proof of claim

A proof of claim stating a creditor’s demand for payment and intent to hold the debtor’s bankruptcy estate liable, but that does not comply with the Bankruptcy Code’s form for proofs of claim.

• A late-filed proof of claim may be given effect if the creditor had timely filed an informal proof of claim. [Cases: Bankruptcy 2902. C.J.S. Bankruptcy § 276.]
