How to read the notices

Objection periods: Filing dates do not set objection deadlines; the clerk's mailing date and court extensions are not collected. No recorded objection does not mean the period ran or the transfer took effect.
Stated amounts: A notice states the whole claim or the part transferred, at its filed, scheduled or allowed amount. Summed amounts count a claim again each time it changes hands.
Withheld names: Some courts let sellers stay unnamed, as in FTX. Those rows keep the buyer, the case and any stated amount.

Transfers by quarter and dataset checks

Transfers in the last four full quarters fell 28% from the four before

By filing quarter since 2021. The lighter column is the quarter in progress.

55 fields in each row

One row per claim on a transfer notice, so a notice that moves several claims gives several rows. These are the field names the MCP tools accept and return.

case_id: Canonical case identifier.
case_name: Case display name.
debtor_case_number: Debtor case number as stated on the transfer notice.
jurisdiction: Court jurisdiction.
court_id: PACER court identifier (deb, txsb, nysb); unknown when unmapped.
court_state: Court venue state.

Case profile

industry_tags: Canonical case industry labels; cases may have multiple labels.
case_type_tags: Case-type tags (Sale Process, Prepackaged, Prenegotiated); not the chapter.
outcome_type: Observed case outcome; absence does not establish an active case.

Parties

transferor_name: Party selling the claim, as filed; null when the notice withholds or omits the seller's name. Groups merge spelling variants of one name and show its most-filed spelling.

seller_family: Family of the seller, from the same lookup as buyer_family; null when the seller is not named.
transferee_name: Party buying the claim, as filed. Groups merge spelling variants of one name and show its most-filed spelling.
buyer_family: Manager or firm family of the buyer, grouping the vehicles it files through; the filed name when the buyer is not in the family lookup. A grouping, not the legal holder. count_distinct gives distinct buyers.
organization_kind: What the buyer is (claims_buyer, distressed_fund, bank for banks and dealer desks, insurer, estate_or_trust, individual, operating_company), or unclassified. It describes the firm, not the transaction.

Transfer

date_filed: Date the transfer notice was filed on the docket; a filing date, not a trade date.
months_since_petition: Whole months from the petition date to the notice's filing date; null when either is unknown or the notice predates the petition.
execution_date: Date the parties executed the transfer, as stated on the notice; null when the notice states none.
rule_subsection: Rule 3001(e) subsection the notice was filed under; (e)(3) and (e)(4) are transfers for security. Null when the notice does not say.
transfer_scope: Whether the seller's whole claim or part of it transferred: full, partial, or unknown.
status: Lifecycle derived from later filings in the same case that refer to this notice: withdrawn, superseded by an amended notice, defective, objected, or no_objection_recorded (no matched objection recorded, not a finding that the objection period expired or the transfer became effective). Every status is served; filter it explicitly. Filing dates do not establish objection deadlines.

schedule_number: Schedule number of the transferred claim; null when the notice gives none.
customer_code: Customer code identifying the transferred claim, leading zeros kept; null when the notice gives none.
security_isin: ISIN of the security underlying the transferred claim; null when the notice gives none.
debtor_entity: Debtor entity the transferred claim is against, as stated on the notice.
claim_amount_usd: Stated notice amount in USD for this claim: amount_scope says whether it is the whole claim or the transferred portion and amount_valuation whether it is the filed, scheduled or allowed amount. Not a price. Null unless amount_status is stated. Sums are gross stated notice amounts, repeated across transfers of the same claim and across debtor claims; they are not price, unique exposure or trading volume.
amount_scope: Whether the stated notice amount is the whole claim (claim), the part transferred (transferred_portion), or unknown.
amount_valuation: Which amount the notice states: the filed, scheduled or allowed claim amount, or unknown.
claim_amount_text: Claim amount exactly as written on the notice; null when the notice states none.
amount_status: Whether claim_amount_usd is usable: stated, or why it is null (not_stated; by_reference when the notice points to a schedule, proof of claim or percentage instead of a figure; unliquidated, non_usd, unparsed, suspect_identifier when a claim, schedule or docket number was read as an amount).

Claims register

claim_link: How the transfer was matched to a filed claim in the case: claim_number or schedule_number when exactly one current filed claim carries that number, ambiguous when more than one does, unlinked when none does or no filed claims are available for the case. per_debtor when the notice's source was reviewed to number claims within each debtor's case and no single current filed claim of the item's own debtor carries the number. parent_claim when the notice moves a portion of a filed claim, printed as claim-slice (6313-1 in Lehman Brothers Inc.), and exactly one current filed claim carries the parent number; the register fields then describe the whole parent claim.
register_status: Status of the matching filed claim as of register_refreshed_at. Null unless exactly one current filed claim matches the transferred claim's number, or a slice's parent claim number.
register_line_count: Current filed claims that the transferred claim's number, or a slice's parent claim number matches.
register_priority_class: Priority class of the matching filed claim as of register_refreshed_at. Null unless exactly one current filed claim matches the transferred claim's number, or a slice's parent claim number.
register_claimed_usd: Total claimed amount of the matching filed claim, kept apart from notice amounts. Null unless exactly one current filed claim matches the transferred claim's number, or a slice's parent claim number. In USD.
register_refreshed_at: When the matching filed claim was last refreshed. Null unless exactly one current filed claim matches the transferred claim's number, or a slice's parent claim number.

Record

id: Opaque public identifier for one transferred claim, stable within its source notice.
document_public_id: Public identifier of the filed transfer notice; count_distinct gives notices, since one notice can move several claims.
docket_number: Docket number of the transfer notice.
source_basis: Where the row's facts come from: document_text when read from the notice itself, docket_title when only the docket entry's title was readable, in which case parties, claim numbers and amounts are as the title states them.
