If a Debtor is adding creditors due to filing an amended or post-petition schedule, they are required to give notice to the added creditors and provide copies of notices and documents in the case as appropriate, including the notice of the meeting of creditors with full SSN or ITIN, notice of the bar date, the most recent plan or amended plan, and confirmation hearing notice and shall file a certificate of service pursuant to S.D. Ind. B-9013-2. See procedure for Certificate of Service.
However, if the Debtor certifies that no notice is required because the creditor has already received those documents, the Debtor may file a Statement in Lieu of Notice to Added Creditors. This document may be filed in the same document as the Amended Schedule or Schedule of Post-Petition Debts, or separately using the instructions below.
Note: The prior address as well as the corrected address should be included. Without the inclusion of the prior 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.
