We buy bankruptcy claims, Chapter 7 and Chapter 11.

First American Settlements buys Chapter 7 claims — and Chapter 11 claims once the plan is confirmed — from creditors who would rather be paid than wait on the estate. The review is free, the offer is in writing, and you are paid at closing.

What we buy

Two chapters. One way to sell for cash.

The estate may never pay. Sell for cash instead.

Many Chapter 7 cases pay unsecured creditors little, late, or nothing. Selling turns an uncertain check into a fixed cash price.

The plan is confirmed, but distributions can take years. Sell for a fixed price.

We buy Chapter 11 claims once the plan is confirmed. We never make an offer before then.

How a sale works

Three steps. No upfront cost.

    Free review

    Send us the case and the amount. We pull the docket and the claims register at no cost to you.

  2. 02

    If the claim has value, we put a price in writing. Take it, turn it down, or ask questions first.

You are paid at closing, on the timetable in the purchase agreement. When we make an offer, we tell you the timeline in writing.

The court filing is ours

After you are paid, we file the Rule 3001(e) transfer with the bankruptcy court and send you the court-stamped copy.

No fee, no follow-up campaign

Not the court

We are a private buyer. We do not work for the bankruptcy court, the trustee, the plan administrator, or the company that filed.
