LOCAL RULE 1009-1: AMENDMENTS OF VOLUNTARY PETITIONS, LISTS, SCHEDULES, AND STATEMENTS a. Statement of Change. In addition to the requirements under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 1009, when the debtor amends the petition, lists, schedules, or statements, the debtor must file with the Court and give notice of, to any party in interest affected by the amendment, a statement indicating the changes made by the amendment. The local form statement of change shall be the first page of the amendment filed.

b. Amendments Adding Creditors. When the debtor adds a creditor by amending either the schedules or the list of creditors, or if the debtor initially files schedules that add creditors to the list filed with the petition, in addition to the requirements of subsection (a), the debtor also must update the mailing matrix for noticing purposes and simultaneously give notice to the added creditor of the following: (1) Notice of Bankruptcy Case; (2) Your Statement About Your Social Security Numbers; (3) the order granting discharge (if any); and (4) any other document filed in the case which affects the rights of the creditor.

c. Address Changes. When the debtor seeks only to change an address on a petition or list, or is required to change an address as a result of returned mail, such change is not considered an amendment, and the requirements of subsection (a) are not applicable.
