Updated data enabled Chapter 7 forms?

[LostOne0069]

I'm trying to find data enabled forms for chapter 7 filings that include the updates put in place this month (October). The US courts site has the forms, but not data-enabled.

If there aren't any data enabled forms... anyone have a suggestion on how to get these forms filled out... and please don't say "use a typewriter" or "hand write them" I am aware of those options, they are not practical for me. I need something I can do on a computer.

I did a quick search but don't see the newest online-enabled forms yet on the U.S. Trustee's website. If you can't fill out your bk forms manually, Lost, have you considered asking a friend or family member to fill them in for you? If you are keeping your filing a secret, then another option is to take the forms to a bk forms processing person (not a lawyer so much less expensive!) and paying them to fill in the forms for you? Just trying to come with some options....

OK, the problem isn't that I don't know how to do it myself... it's that I don't own a typewriter, I don't WANT a typewriter and I don't know anyone who DOES own a typewriter.

Lastly, I'm a computer nerd. I want a computer form if it's available.

Oh, and I found the forms... unfortunately I had to pay $50 for them, but I got them at standardlegal.com. I would recommend that anyone else who needs them wait a bit and the courts web site will have them up for free... but, since we're filing this week, (the 12th) we needed them now so we could get filling them out.

Thanks for the suggestions lrprn, I do appreciate the effort.

I haven't checked there, but I remember the California sites being real progressive and making their own data-enabled forms first.
