Where Is Colorado’s Bankruptcy Court?
Bankruptcy is governed almost entirely by federal law, and bankruptcy cases are handled by federal courts. Federal District Courts differ in many ways from Colorado state courts, so calling the the bankruptcy court “Colorado’s Bankruptcy Court” is something of a misnomer. To be more accurate, Coloradans file bankruptcy in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, which houses the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado.
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado is located in the U.S. Customs House, between California St. & Stout St. in downtown Denver. Parking is available in adjacent parking lots and garages.
If you live in Aurora, Arvada, Boulder, Centennial, Denver, Lakewood, Longmont, Thornton or Westminster, your 341 Hearing will probably be held in Denver.
If you live in Pueblo, Grand Junction, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins or nearby towns like Durango, Greeley or Loveland, you will probably have your 341 Hearing at a satellite location. That way, you don’t have to drive all the way to Denver to meet with the bankruptcy trustee. Click here for a list of approved locations on the United States Trustee’s website.

Thanks for commenting, Janet. Unfortunately, under US bankruptcy law, you are supposed to give the bankruptcy trustee and the US trustee a copy of your most recent federal tax return before attending your 341 Creditors’ Meeting. So your first step should be getting current with the IRS and Colorado Department of Revenue.
If you can’t find a copy of your most recent tax return, however, you can probably ask the IRS to give you a transcript of the basic information in your return – and you can usually use the transcript as a substitute for your return. Because it can take some time to receive the transcript, you should request one as soon as you realize you need one.
