The business generally keeps operating while it proposes a plan to restructure its debts. Management usually stays in control as a "debtor in possession".
If you are owed money. The company may keep trading and keep buying. Existing pre-filing debt is frozen and gets treated under the plan, while goods and services delivered AFTER the filing are treated differently from those delivered before.
If you were paid by Haydale Ceramic Technologies, LLC recently, read this before you spend it. A trustee can sue to take back money the company paid you in the 90 days before it filed. The statute reaches any transfer made "on or within 90 days before the date of the filing of the petition" (11 U.S.C. 547(b)(4)(A)).
We do not hold a petition date for this case, so the window cannot be dated here. It is the 90 days immediately before whatever date the petition was filed, and the docket carries that date.
Inside that window the law starts from the assumption the company was broke. 11 U.S.C. 547(f) says the debtor "is presumed to have been insolvent" during those 90 days, so nobody has to prove it was insolvent when your payment cleared. That is a presumption applied inside a preference action, and it is not a ruling that the company was insolvent for any other purpose.
There are real defences and suppliers win on them. The common one is that the debt and the payment were both ordinary course between you and this customer, or the payment was made on ordinary business terms (11 U.S.C. 547(c)(2)). Others cover getting paid at the same time you delivered (11 U.S.C. 547(c)(1)) and shipping more goods after the payment (11 U.S.C. 547(c)(4)). Since 2019 the trustee also has to act "based on reasonable due diligence" and take account of defences they know or could reasonably know about (11 U.S.C. 547(b)).
There is a small-dollar floor and we are not going to put a number on it for this case. In a case where the debts are not primarily consumer debts, a transfer below a threshold amount cannot be avoided under this section (11 U.S.C. 547(c)(9)). That amount is adjusted for inflation every three years, "on April 1, 1998, and at each 3-year interval ending on April 1 thereafter" (11 U.S.C. 104(a)), and 11 U.S.C. 104(c) says each adjustment "shall not apply with respect to cases commenced before the date of such adjustments". So the figure that governs is the one in force when this case was commenced, not the current one. We publish the current amount and the one before it, and this case predates both, so the number for it is one to get from the docket or a lawyer. The $5,000 printed in the statute itself is the un-adjusted figure and has not been the operative amount since 2007.
Demand letters on preference claims go out routinely and often get reduced or dropped. The useful response to one is your payment history and a bankruptcy lawyer. Nothing here is legal advice and none of it is a prediction about your situation.
There is no date we can compute, and we are not going to invent one. In chapter 11 the judge sets the bar date rather than a statute (Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3003(c)(3)), and the clerk must mail creditors at least 21 days notice of it (Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2002(a)). That notice is the only place the real date exists.
You may not have to file at all. If Haydale Ceramic Technologies, LLC listed your claim on its schedules, in the right amount, and did not mark it disputed, contingent or unliquidated, that listing is prima facie evidence of your claim and a proof of claim is unnecessary. You must file if you are missing from the schedules, listed for the wrong amount, or flagged as disputed, contingent or unliquidated (Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3003(b)(1) and (c)(2)). Filing anyway is cheap insurance, because the alternative is trusting the company that owes you to have written your number down correctly.

We hold more case records than docket histories, and the difference matters. Case records — who filed, which court, which chapter, what date — come from the public historical court record and reach back years. Docket entries come from the courts' live filing feeds, which carry only about 24 hours at a time, and we began archiving those on 28 July 2026.
So a case may show a full record and no entries, or three entries when the real docket has three hundred. An empty or short list of entries is a gap in our collection, never a statement that nothing happened.
