    Set off?

    On schedule F it asks if the clain is subject to set off? What do they mean? I listed the date like it asks but am kinda baffled by this?

    Right of setoff is something that may be allowed by your underlying agreement with the creditor. For example, almost all utility companies enjoy a statutory "right of setoff" for deposits. So if you file against a utility company for say $500, and you have $600 in deposits, then they can setoff the $500 with the $600 deposit.

    Generally, you would put nothing on Schedule F for setoffs unless you're sure about it. To me, this usually means you don't need to worry about it.
