`
`EXHIBIT D - INDIVIDUAL DEBTOR'S STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH
`CREDIT COUNSELING REQUIREMENT
`Warning: You must be able to check truthfully one of the five statements regarding credit
`counseling listed below. If you cannot do so, you are not eligible to file a bankruptcy case, and the court
`can dismiss any case you do file. If that happens, you will lose whatever filing fee you paid, and your
`creditors will be able to resume collection activities against you. If your case is dismissed and you file
`another bankruptcy case later, you may be required to pay a second filing fee and you may have to take
`extra steps to stop creditors' collection activities.
`Every individual debtor must file this Exhibit D. If a joint petition is filed, each spouse must complete
`and file a separate Exhibit D. Check one of the five statements below and attach any documents as directed.
`(cid:134) 1. Within the 180 days before the filing of my bankruptcy case, I received a briefing from a credit
`counseling agency approved by the United States trustee or bankruptcy administrator that outlined the
`opportunities for available credit counseling and assisted me in performing a related budget analysis, and I have
`a certificate from the agency describing the services provided to me. Attach a copy of the certificate and a copy
`of any debt repayment plan developed through the agency.
`(cid:132) 2. Within the 180 days before the filing of my bankruptcy case, I received a briefing from a credit
`counseling agency approved by the United States trustee or bankruptcy administrator that outlined the
`opportunities for available credit counseling and assisted me in performing a related budget analysis, but I do
`not have a certificate from the agency describing the services provided to me. You must file a copy of a
`certificate from the agency describing the services provided to you and a copy of any debt repayment plan
`developed through the agency no later than 14 days after your bankruptcy case is filed.
`
`(cid:134) 3. I certify that I requested credit counseling services from an approved agency but was unable to
`obtain the services during the seven days from the time I made my request, and the following exigent
`circumstances merit a temporary waiver of the credit counseling requirement so I can file my bankruptcy case
`now. [Summarize exigent circumstances here.]
`If your certification is satisfactory to the court, you must still obtain the credit counseling briefing
`within the first 30 days after you file your bankruptcy petition and promptly file a certificate from the
`agency that provided the counseling, together with a copy of any debt management plan developed
`through the agency. Failure to fulfill these requirements may result in dismissal of your case. Any
`extension of the 30-day deadline can be granted only for cause and is limited to a maximum of 15 days.
`Your case may also be dismissed if the court is not satisfied with your reasons for filing your bankruptcy
`case without first receiving a credit counseling briefing.
`
`(cid:134) 4. I am not required to receive a credit counseling briefing because of: [Check the applicable
`statement.] [Must be accompanied by a motion for determination by the court.]
