*577 MEMORANDUM OPINION 1
This matter is before the Court on the debtor’s objections (Doc. Nos. 16, 17, 18, and 20) to proofs of claim filed by American Express Centurion Bank; MBNA America Bank, N.A.; Chase Manhattan Bank USA, N.A.; and eCAST Settlement Corporation (the “Creditors”), respectively. The debtor, Donna C. Mazzoni (“Ms. Mаzzoni”), objects to each proof of claim on the ground that “the writing on which the claim is based is not attached to the Proof of Claim.” This matter constitutes a core proceeding 2 over which this Court has jurisdiction. 3 The objections to proofs of claim raise questions of law, thе resolution of which would not be furthered by holding an evidentiary hearing. All facts and documents necessary for the resolution of these matters are before the Court. Having reviewed Ms. Mazzoni’s objections and the responses thereto, the Court concludes she is not entitled to the relief requested. Accordingly, her objections to proofs of claim are overruled.
Background
The table belоw illustrates the claims that are at issue as well as the corresponding amounts scheduled by Ms. Mazzoni in her bankruptcy.

American Express Centurion Bank (Claim No. 4) filed a timely written response to Ms. Mazzoni’s objection. eCast Settlement Corporation (“eCast”), as the assignee of MBNA America Bank (Claim No. 5), Chase Manhattan Bank (Claim No. 7), and General Electric/JCP Consumer (Claim No. 9), also filed a timely written rеsponse to Ms. Mazzoni’s objections.
The issue before the Court is whether a claim may be denied on a Chapter 13 debtor’s objеction solely because the writing on which the claim is based is not attached to the proof of claim.
Discussion
Section 501(a) 4 provides that a creditor having a claim 5 may file a proof of claim in a debtor’s case. 6 The Federal *578 Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”) govern the procedure for determining whether a filed proof of claim may share in the distribution of an estate and should be “construed to secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination” of any disputed claims. 7 Rule 3001 generally governs the process for executing and filing a proof of claim and provides in relevant part:
(a) Form and Content. A proof of claim is a written statement setting forth a creditor’s claim. A proof of claim shall conform substantially to the appropriate Official Form.
(b) Who May Execute. A proof of claim shall be executed by the creditor or the creditor’s аuthorized agent except as provided in Rules 3004 and 3005.
(c) Claim Based on a Writing. When a claim, or an interest in property of the dеbtor securing a claim, is based on a writing, the original or a duplicate shall be filed with the proof of claim. If the writing has been lost or destroyed, a statement of the circumstances of the loss or destruction shall be filed with the claim.
(f) Evidentiary Effect. A proof of claim executed and filed in accordance with these rules shall constitute prima facie evidence of the validity аnd amount of the claim. 8
Section 502 states that “[a] claim or interest, proof of which is filed under section 501 of this title, is deemed allоwed, unless a party in interest ... objects.” 9 If a party in interest files an objection, the court must determine the proper amount of the claim and allow it accordingly, unless certain criteria, inapplicable here, are met. 10
In the present case, Ms. Mazzoni has objected to the Creditors’ proofs of claim solely on the ground that the Creditors did not attach to the proоfs of claim the writings on which the claims were based. However, contrary to Ms. Mazzoni’s requested relief, “[flailing to attach the writing required by Bankruptcy Rule 3001(c) ‘does not automatically invalidate the claim: it does, however, deprive the claim of prima, facie validity under Bankruptcy Rule 3001(f).’ ” 11 If a claim does not have prima facie validity, the clаimant still satisfies its initial burden of proving the existence and amount of the claim with the presentation of the proof of claim, which is signed under penalty of up to $500,000 or up to five years in prison. 12
Here, the Creditors’ proofs of claim provide evidence of a demand for payment from the estate, including the demanding *579 creditor’s name, an account number by which the creditor identifies thе debtor, and the amount of the claim at the time the case was filed. Therefore, in order to prevail on her objectiоns to the Creditors’ proofs of claim, Ms. Mazzoni must come forward with evidence that would minimally “meet, overcome, or at least equalize” the Creditors’ statements on the proofs of claim. 13 In other words, because the Creditors have satisfied their initial burden of proving the existence and amount of their claims with the presentation of their proofs of claim, Ms. Mazzoni must have a basis for challenging the validity of their claims. 14 Ms. Mazzoni has presented no basis for challenging the Creditors’ proofs of claim and her objections should accordingly be overruled.
Conclusion
Having considered the relevant issues and law, the Court hereby overrules Ms. Mazzoni’s objeсtions to the Creditors’ proofs of claim.

In re Cluff,
this Court agrees that it is important to distinguish a Chapter 13 debtor’s right to object to a proof of claim on the ground that no documents were attached supporting thе claim from a Chapter 7 or 11 trustee’s rights.
