An amendment shall not be effective until proof of service in accordance with subdivision (b) of this rule has been filed. If a creditor is added or deleted, an amended mailing matrix shall also be filed.

(b) Notice of Amendment.

A complete copy of the voluntary petition, list, schedule, or statement, as amended, together with the Affidavit pursuant to Local Rule 1009-1(a), shall be served by the amending party upon:

(i) the United States trustee;

(ii) the trustee;

(iii) all creditors or other parties in interest who were added or deleted; and

(iv) any other party affected thereby.

If the amendment affects claimed exemptions, the amending party shall also serve all creditors. If the amendment adds a creditor, the papers to be served on such creditor shall consist of the amendment, together with copies of all notices previously sent to creditors that appear in the Court's docket, including, without limitation, the notice informing creditors of the date by which all proofs of claim shall be filed. If the amendment modifies an existing creditor's claim, service on such creditor shall include any notices informing creditors of the date by which proofs of claim shall be filed.
