District guide · W.D. Tenn.

Petition prep for the Western District of Tennessee

W.D. Tenn. filed 8,588 consumer cases, and 6,257 of them were Chapter 13 — roughly 73%, the highest Chapter 13 share of any high-volume district in the country. Most districts are Chapter 7 practices with some Chapter 13; Memphis is the reverse. It also runs on its own 20-provision plan form with three separate elections built into its face, an auto insurance program most districts have no equivalent for, and wage orders that change form number depending on which trustee has the case. We prepare Chapter 7 and 13 cases filing-ready to exactly these requirements, in your own software, for your review and signature.
