Can I still add creditors?

[987654]

I filed pro se, and then got another bill collection statement with two creditors I forgot (each less than $100 each). Should I amend, and if so, how do I do it. Is there a fee?

Can I just pay these creditors and not have any problem with that? I don't want to get in trouble

Contact your BK court clerk-that will be the best resource to find out what to do. They can handle any procedural questions, and it may vary slightly from one district to another. You can amend, and there will be a small fee for doing so. (I'm not sure if it is per amendment or per creditor.)

If there less than $100, you can go ahead and pay them and not worry about it.

However, to answer your question, you can amend your petition anytime before discharge. If you are adding creditors, there is a $26 filing fee. So, it may not be worth the time and hassle to amend your petition for these two small creditors if you can simply pay them off.

I filed an amendment for $26, this is in CT, all I did was submit the $26, the amended schedule F with the words amended across the top, and a letter certifying that I had sent notice to all the creditors that I added that I had filed BK.
