Corrected Amended Schedules (Fee Previously Paid)

How to file:

Location of event: Bankruptcy > Schedules/Statement of Financial Affairs/Initial Required Documents > Schedule(s) Amended - Corrected (Fee Previously Paid)

Things to be aware of when filing: Form 106 Declaration or Form 202 (Declaration Concerning Debtor's Schedules) signed by debtor(s) is required when filing any Amendment to Debtor’s Schedules.

General Information

This procedure is used when filing a Corrected Amended Schedule in order to cure deficiencies listed on a Notice of Deficient Filing, when a fee was previously paid. The amendment fee is NOT required to file a correction, hence using this event bypasses the fee. See separate procedure if the Amended Schedules are not being filed to cure a deficiency listed on a Notice of Deficient Filing or a fee was not previously paid.

Filing requirements 

  • Except when adding an attorney representing an existing creditor or when changing the address of an existing creditor, an amendment fee is required when making any amendments to Schedules D and/or E/F and when adding parties to Schedules G and/or H.
  • Amended Schedules filed with the court replace all previously filed schedules and therefore, any amendment should also include ALL unamended information from the original/previously filed schedule.
  • An Amended Summary of Schedules with Statistical Summary of Certain Liabilities is required if amounts change.
  • Form 106 Declaration or Form 202 (Declaration Concerning Debtor's Schedules) signed by debtor(s) is required when filing any Amendment to Debtor’s Schedules.
  • A Certificate of Service must be submitted when adding creditors to Schedules D and/or E/F, and/or adding parties to Schedules G and H. The Certificate of Service should indicate service on added creditors of the Notice to Added Creditors, 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.  If the added creditors have already received copies of these documents, a Statement in Lieu of Notice to Added Creditors should be filed. The Statement in Lieu or Certificate of Service can be filed in the same document as the Amended Schedules, or separately using the Statement in Lieu of Notice to Added Creditors or Certificate of Service menu options, respectively.
  • For jointly administered cases, the amended schedules must be filed on the specific lead or member case to which the schedules refer.
