(b) Format of Names and Addresses. The format of names and addresses in the mailing matrix must conform to guidelines issued by the clerk.

An image of the matrix must also be included with the petition. When electronically filing an amended matrix to include additional creditors, only the names and addresses of the additional creditors should be included in the upload and the image of the list.

(2) Matrix Submitted on Paper. A person submitting a paper copy of a voluntary petition for filing must submit both a paper copy of the mailing matrix and an electronic version on media (diskette, CD, USB drive, etc.) capable of being uploaded in the court's electronic filing system.

(d) Verification. The mailing matrix must be accompanied by the debtor's verification that all entities included on Schedules D, E, F, G, and H have been listed in the mailing matrix, using a form that substantially conforms to the local form (Verification of Creditor Matrix [GUB 1007-2d]). The clerk's office will not compare the names and addresses listed in the schedules with the names and addresses shown on the Master Mailing Matrix or Equity Security Holders Mailing Matrix or supplement thereto.

The debtor must file an amended mailing matrix to reflect any changes or additions to the names and addresses of entities included on Schedules D, E, F, G, or H, including a change of address of the entity or the entity's attorney, or the addition of an entity or an entity's attorney. An amended matrix is subject to the requirements of subdivisions (b) and (c) of this rule.
