Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The primary requirement for a petition of involuntary bankruptcy is that creditors must demonstrate that a debtor has defaulted on repayments of debts. Involuntary petitions must be filed only by creditors who are owed, individually or in the aggregate, at least $16,750 in unsecured, undisputed debt. If there are fewer than 12 creditors, the aggregate threshold of unsecured debt is $16,750; if there are more than 12, at least three who are owed $16,750 in the aggregate must join the petition.
