Just realized that i need to amend Form B7 (Statement of financial affairs)

Following are the things that are needed to be changed

1. Prior addresses of Debtor - I checked none in original filing. I want to amend this by giving the prior addresses.

2. Spouse and former spouse - I checked none in original filing. I lived in a community property state about 4 years back with my spouse.

Please let me know if B7 can be amended or not, If it can be amended what is the procedure to do that.
Also please let me know how these things would affect my case if amendments cannot be made.

You can amend

There is should be an amendment cover sheet form on your local bankruptcy court's website. Don't know what state you live in (it really helps to include that in your question since things like exemptions allowed and required forms vary from state to state) click on the link below to view the amendment form of VA and take a look at the amendment instructions. In VA, to amend this statement you would simple fill out the form in need of amendment along with the declaration concerning debtor's schedules (the last page under form 6 - schedules) and submit along with the amendment cover sheet. To amend this form there is no fee but if you need to amend your original creditors it cost $26 and you have to resummarize your schedule summary sheet. Usually the forms are the same execpt you have to change the district information at the top, but be sure you google your state's official site to be sure that's all they require.

To answer your second question, I'm not sure of the consequences but always be truthful on your bankruptcy forms. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the quick reply.

I filed on 03/16/2009 and included all my creditors and their addresses (from monthly statements) in the chapter 7, yesterday I received a call from one of the included creditors and they are asking for my attorney information and asking for documentation to be sent to them.

Now, Since I filed 'Pro Se' I do not have an attorney and that is what I told the creditor.

Somebody, Please tell me if i need to send any documents to any of my creditors or not.. I was thinking that the creditors would be notified by the bankruptcy court and be provided all the documentation. Please throw some light on this subject about what court sends to each creditor and what the debtor needs to send to the creditors after filing bankruptcy.. Thank you very much in advance.

I am losing sleep on this.I don't know when i will be put out of all this misery.

The court will send out the notification to your Creditors and you will receive the same copy. Have you received this yet? Perhaps the notification has not been mailed yet.

I am pro se also, have had my 341 and am waiting for creditors to file claims as my case turned into an asset case. I also had to amend some forms including my creditor matrix, my creditors list and my inventory. I simply amended the forms and took to the courthouse where I scanned them in and then they take over.

I hope your mind is eleviated about the mailing.

Thanks for the quick reply. I feel a lot better after reading your reply.

Yes, I recieved the 341 Meeting Notice last saturday. I got the call from creditor yesterday. I think the notices to the creditors are on the way when I talked to the creditor. I hope that the creditor would have received it by now.

I filed in DELAWARE and the information at the court website,

http://www.deb.uscourts.gov/bankruptcy_reform/pro_se_debtor_information.pdf

says that
"Within 15 days of filing, you must submit copies of all payment advices/pay statements
received during the 60 days prior to filing, or a certification that none exist, to the United
States Trustee, 844 King Street, Suite 2207, Lockbox 35, Wilmington, DE 19801"

But, I was told by the clerk at the time of filing that I need to submit the payment advises to the trustee assigned to my case. Please advise if I need to submit the payment advises to the unitedstates trustee or not.

I appreciate your help. Thanks.

With CC's it takes a few days for them to get the info into the system. I did have 1 creditor call who didn't see the 'BK notation'.

In my state, Texas I had to submit proof of income (W2's & bank statements as I am self employed) and I filed with the clerk. Perhaps in your state you submit to the Trustee.

Yes, you need to do that within the 15 days. The trustee address is included on your 341 notice.

In addition, a copy of your most recent tax return must be submitted to the trustee within 7 days prior to your 341. If you haven't done your 2008 yet, you can submit the prior year. You will need to get your 2008 done and submit to the trustee in a timely manner.

Don't know if you've used any references for your filing, but NOLO has a very informative book about filing your own BK. You can get a copy at the library.
