Each name/address must consist of no more than 5 (five) total lines, with at least one blank line between each of the name/address blocks. Each line must be 40 characters or less in length.

Things to Avoid Although the Court is using sophisticated equipment and software to ensure accuracy in creditor list reading, certain problems can still occur. By following these guidelines, the Court will avoid delays or additional effort in mailing notices. The following problems can prevent your lists from being read by the optical scanner, requiring you to re-submit your creditor list in an acceptable form.

AVOID: 1. 2. 3. 4. Extra marks on the list - such as letterhead dates, debtor name, coffee stains, handwritten marks. Non-standard paper such as onion skin, half-sized paper, or colored (such as yellow) paper. Poor quality type caused by submitting a photocopy or carbon, using an exhausted typewriter, or using a typewriter with a fabric ribbon. Unreadable type faces or print styles such a proportionally-spaced fonts, dot-matrix printing, or exotic fonts (such as Olde English or script). Use only Courier 10, Prestige Elite, or Letter Gothic. Misaligned lists caused by removing the paper from the typewriter before completing the list, or inserting the paper into the typewriter crooked. Incorrect Typewriter Settings will cause unreadable lists. Make certain that your typewriter is set for 10 pitch type style. Stray Marks should be avoided. Do not type lines, debtor name, page numbers, or anything else on the front of a creditor list. Any identifying marks you choose to add can be typed on the back of the list. Upper Case Only (all capital letters) should be avoided. Type in upper and lower case as you would on a letter. Zip Code must be on the last line. Nine digit zip codes should be typed with a hyphen separating the two groups of digits. DO NOT type attention lines or account numbers on the last line; put these on the second line of the name/address if needed. (The zip code must be at the end of the zip code sorting equipment to find it). Fabric Ribbons should be avoided. They produce letters which are too fuzzy to be properly scanned. WARNING: DO NOT USE DOT MATRIX PRINTERS.
