As a creditor, how do I fill out the proof of claims form if I don’t know any information on why I am named as a creditor by my ex-employer?

I received paperwork from my ex-employer regarding a bankruptcy filing. I don’t have any idea on how the bankruptcy courts work and wha my status is as a creditor (such as how much is the company reporting I’m owed)? Plus, I was fired from this company; I was also denied unemployment twice as I didn’t agree to the reason I was let go and felt it was unfair and handled improperly (I worked 11 years loyally). Can I request the back pay of the unemployment I was denied?

I order to file a creditor's claim concerning the bankruptcy of your employer, i suggest that you go online with the bankruptcy court's website and print out a creditor's claim. Fill it out as soon as possible as to the amount owed and file it with the bankruptcy court. You have a certain time period to do so. Request all amounts you claim due you.

I suggest that you may want to consult with a bankruptcy attorney to assist you in this matter on the filing of the creditor's claim.
