• Separate rules apply to attorneys or others representing child support creditors. See separate procedure for further information. 

Filing requirements

• Appearances must contain the appearing party's address, telephone number, fax number (if available), and e-mail address (if filing electronically).

Change of Address

These instructions are for attorneys only. See separate procedure for instructions for limited users.

General Information

• The Court cannot change an address on a bankruptcy case simply because it has been advised of a new address via a phone call or a yellow label on mail returned by the USPS. Therefore, any Change of Address of any party or creditor on a case must be submitted in writing by the debtor, the trustee, or the party whose address has changed. The plaintiff in an adversary proceeding may also file a change of address for a defendant who has not yet filed a responsive pleading.
• It is not necessary for a creditor to file changes of address for all the cases in which they are listed. The creditor can simply submit their new address to the National Creditor Registration Service, which will ensure that all mail to that creditor from then on, from any Bankruptcy Court and on any case, is sent to that address.
• If a change of address is filed on a case that has a pending adversary proceeding, the address will not be changed on that adversary proceeding unless a change of address is filed on the adversary case also.
• Users who are electronic filers and who wish to submit a change of address for themselves do not need to file a Change of Address on one or all of their active cases. Instead, they should change their address on pacer.uscourts.gov using Modify Your Account. This change will automatically be applied to all affected cases.

Filing requirements 

• The Change of Address must be signed by the filing party.
• The prior address as well as the corrected address should be included. Without the inclusion of the prior/incorrect address, it may be impossible for the court to determine which address should be changed, in which case the old address will continue to receive notices from the court in addition to the new address.
• A Change of Address of a creditor (unless filed by the creditor themselves) must be accompanied by a Certificate of Service showing service of the Notice of Change of Address to Creditors with New or Corrected Address, Notice of Meeting of Creditors with full Social Security Number shown and any other documents that have already been sent out to all creditors, such as the most recent Chapter 13 Plan, Notice of Confirmation Hearing, etc. to the creditor at the new address. See sample Change of Address form.  If the creditor has already received the Notice of Meeting of Creditors at their old address, a Statement in Lieu of Notice must be filed instead of the Certificate of Service.
• If debtor receives return mail for any creditor or party and is unable to determine a correct address for them, the Debtor should file a Notice of Address Unavailability, specifying the creditor’s name and reporting that a correct address cannot be located. Upon the filing of such a notice, the court will code the address so that no further notices or orders are sent to that creditor or party in interest.

Financial Management

General Information

• All individual debtors in a chapter 7 or chapter 13 case are required to file a statement regarding completion of a course in personal financial management as a condition for receiving a discharge, unless the Court has granted a waiver of this requirement.

Note: If a permanent waiver of the Credit Counseling requirement is granted, this automatically waives the requirement to file a Certification of Financial Management Course.

• Regardless of whether or not such a waiver has been granted, Official Form B423 (Debtor's Certification of Completion of Instructional Course Concerning Financial Management) must be filed with the Court before the discharge can be granted. If the financial management course provider has filed the course certificate, the debtor does not have to file Form B423.
• In a chapter 7 case, Form B423 is due within 60 days after the first date set for the meeting of creditors.
• In a chapter 13 case, Form B423 is due no later than the last payment made by the debtor as required by the plan or the filing of a motion for hardship discharge.

See information on special requirements for deceased debtors

Filing requirements 

• If the financial management course provider has filed the course certificate, the debtor does not have to file form B423. Otherwise:
• Official Form B423 (Debtor's Certification of Completion of Instructional Course Concerning Financial Management) must be completed and include the Certificate number from the counseling, or include a copy of the Certificate, if available. Or, if the Court has granted a waiver of the financial management course requirement, indicate the basis for the waiver.
• Form B423 must be signed by the debtor. Attorney signature is not sufficient, unless the debtor has been granted a waiver of the financial management course requirement.

Notation of Abandonment

General Information

• The Notation of Abandonment is docketed 15 days after the ”Trustee’s Report of No Distribution” on cases where the Notice of Meeting of Creditors was issued on or after August 29th, 2016, provided that no objections have been filed. For cases where the Notice of Meeting of Creditors was issued before that date, an Order in No Asset Case is issued instead. The Notation consists of the following docket text:

Pursuant to Local Bankruptcy Rule B-6007-1, all property of the estate listed in the schedules filed by the debtor(s) has been abandoned.

• The Notation deems all scheduled property of the bankruptcy estate to have been abandoned.
• After the Notation is entered, secured creditors with non-avoidable, perfected security interests in any such property are granted limited relief from the automatic stay to pursue their valid claims against such property in accordance with applicable law.
• If the Trustee has previously filed a Report of No Distribution, they can withdraw it before filing a Report of Possible Assets, although this is not necessary since the filing of the Report of Possible Assets serves as a withdrawal of Report of No Distribution.  However, if the Court has already entered an Order in No Asset Case or docketed the Notation of Abandonment, this Order or Notation cannot be withdrawn by the Trustee since it was entered by the Court, not filed by the  Trustee. In this circumstance, the Trustee must file a Motion for Relief from Order pursuant to FRBP 9024 along with a 14-day objection notice if any of the assets to be administered were scheduled, followed by the Report of Possible Assets. If the Motion for Relief is required, the Court will not take any action on the Report of Possible Assets unless the Motion has been filed and granted. The Motion for Relief can contain language indicating that the Report of No Distribution is being withdrawn, although as previously mentioned, this is not necessary since a Report of Possible Assets serves this purpose.   View flow chart of the procedure for changing which assets are being administered
