Bankruptcy Form, What Happens If A Wrong Form Is Used?

It is a debtor’s duty to ensure that the correct version of a document is filed with the bankruptcy court. If a debtor discovers that the wrong version was filed, that debtor should fill out the correct version together with the court-approved Amendment Form, and file them both with the court. The Amendment Form will be listed separately on the electronic bankruptcy case docket and lets the trustee and creditors know that a new version of a form has been filed. Sometimes the court will send a notice to a debtor, which points out that an incorrect version of a form has been filed and sets the deadline to file the correct version.
