Type: 
Procedure
Answer: 

Debtor or Debtor's Attorney: The addition, removal, or reclassification of a creditor requires an amendment to the schedules and/or mailing matrix. See Fed. R. Bankr. P. 1009, N.D. Fla. LBR 1009-1, and the Bankruptcy Court Miscellaneous Fee Schedule (28 U.S.C. Sect. 1930) for more information.

Creditor: Docket a paperless event located in the Bankruptcy menu of CM/ECF under the "Claim and Creditor Activity" category: Add Creditor(s) > Enter Individual Creditor(s) (Paperless). You will be prompted to type in the name of the creditor for the docket text and, on the next screen, the name and address of the creditor for noticing and/or claims payment purposes. After you have added the creditor, you may proceed to file a claim.
