Advisory Committee Notes
2023 Amendment

The amended rule includes substantive and stylistic changes. Substantive changes include the amendment of subsections (A)(1) and (B)(1), to clarify that a debtor must no longer file both a list of creditors and a mailing matrix. Instead, debtors now must only file a list of creditors in a format specified by the Clerk, which will be a mailing matrix format. Subsections (A)(2) and (B)(4) concerning the filing of a master mailing matrix were deleted as moot. In addition, language formerly in the Notes to Subsection (A) was deleted and subsection (6) to Rule 1007-1 (A) was added to clarify that all individual debtors must file a statement of social security number. Stylistic changes were made to refer to applicable forms and the Local Rules Links page that provides links to various Official Forms and Local Forms.  At the time of this amendment, the applicable forms referenced within this rule are 1) Local Form LF-16 (Statement of No Employment Income); 2) Local Form LF-2 (Corporate Ownership Statement); 3) Official Form B121 (Statement of Social Security Number); and Local Form LF-18 (Motion for Determination and Waiver of Debtor’s Duty to Comply with the Credit Counseling Requirement Under 11 U.S.C. Section 109(h)(4)).
 

2020 Amendment

The amended rule includes both stylistic and substantive changes. The format of subdivisions is changed to maintain a consistent style across all rules. Various subdivisions and the note regarding social security numbers are amended to maintain a consistent style for references to the court’s website. The note regarding filing format is amended to incorporate the applicable district rule. Subdivision (B)(2) is revised to refer to the form by document title rather than number, following recent revisions to the numbers of Official Forms. Other subdivisions are edited for readability.
