I'll be dedicating a series of my Blog to folks desiring to file Chapter 13 Pro Se.

While the general Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure are the same across U.S. Bankruptcy Districts, my blog may contain Local Rules and Procedures which may have a slant towards Florida filers.

In any event, I hope to go beyond the Nolo e-Book (which you should still get if you're filing pro se).

I find that many of the resources for pro se filers only deal with filing the petition and aren't very good with dealing with the following;

• Adversary Proceedings
• Objections
• Responses
• Motions to Value Collateral
• Motions to Strip Liens
• Motions to Determine Secured Status
• Withdrawals of Pleadings
• Organization and Case Management -- major area
• How to Effectively Use the Clerk's Office
• Dealing with Creditors and Their Attorneys

While I'm currently into month 4 of my petition, I haven't been confirmed yet, and have more than 20 sustained objections to claims, several generic motions (which were granted), two motions to value collateral (on vehicles), one motion to strip lien (on primary residence), and other pleadings which I consider "normal" for a Chapter 13 case.

I hope this helps someone.
