Amended Schedules (fee) - Use for All Amended Schedules

A list of creditors in .pdf format must be uploaded as an attachment to the amendment.  See STEP 7 below.   Uploading the list of creditors does not add the creditors to the court's database.  E:Filers must add new creditors using the Add New Creditor link in this event or e:file the .txt file using Upload a Creditor Matrix File found under Creditor Maintenance.  

There is a fee for amending Schedules D, E/F and the List of Creditors (Matrix).  However, if the purpose of amending Schedules D, E/F or the List of Creditors is to simply change the address of a listed creditor or add the name and address of an attorney for a listed creditor, no fee will be charged.  See STEP 10 below.
