§547 Preferential Transfers in Idaho

How 11 U.S.C. § 547 applies in Idaho — federal bankruptcy law, Idaho district data.

What §547 Preferential Transfers Does

If you paid a creditor more than $600 in the 90 days before filing (or 1 year for insider transfers), the trustee may "avoid" that payment as a preferential transfer and recover the money for distribution to all creditors equally. This rule protects the fundamental bankruptcy principle of equitable distribution.
