2. Parties with outstanding debts: If you have a debt owed to you by an individual or business that has filed for bankruptcy, you will likely need to submit a proof of claim to assert your right to a portion of the debtor's assets.
3. Government entities: Government agencies, such as tax authorities, that are owed money by a debtor in a bankruptcy case may also need to file a proof of claim to establish their right to payment.
