OPINION
BROWN, Bankruptcy Judge.
Appellant B-Line, LLC appeals an order of the bankruptcy court disallowing its claim against Patricia M. Kirkland (“Debt- or”). The bankruptcy court sustained the Objection of Michael J. Caplari (“Trustee”), whose only objection to the claim was that it failed to meet the requirements of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure because the claimant had not attached any supporting documentation.1 Holding that 11 U.S.C. § 502(b) provides the exclusive grounds for disallowance of a claim and that the Rules may not modify substantive rights, we reverse.2
