Great question — and it gets to the heart of how bankruptcy works.

===== When a claim is disputed by the debtor (in this case, DE Marketing LLC), it does not mean the claim is automatically rejected. It simply means the debtor disagrees with it — often to reduce liabilities. =====

====== ### ======

===== 1. You file a Proof of Claim with the bankruptcy court. - This includes your declaration and evidence (emails, dashboards, unpaid commissions, etc.). =====
# The debtor (DE Marketing) can file an objection, labeling it as "disputed." - This shows up on the bankruptcy schedules with a note next to your name. - They must state why they dispute it (lack of records, denial of liability, etc.).
# The court or trustee reviews the claim, and one of three things can happen: - ✅ The claim is allowed (approved). - ⚖️ A hearing is held to determine its validity. - ❌ The claim is disallowed if it lacks enough evidence or legal grounds.

===== - Screenshots of commissions marked "paid" but never received. =====
* Bank statements showing the money was never deposited.
* Emails from support or the company acknowledging payment is due.
* 1099s showing income reported but not actually paid.
* Consistency with others' claims, showing a clear pattern.

If you'd like, I can put this explanation into a shareable guide or document for members to better understand what happens when their claim is labeled “disputed.”
