Please make sure you follow your local rules. This will be very important.
You are on the right path. You would file an "amended" schedule F that only includes the creditors being added. If it's 5 or less, you usually don't need to file a new Matrix. Again, both of those are by local rule, so you are probably better off to contact the Clerk of the Court.
You also need to file a new Summary of Schedules and the Statement Concerning Debtor Schedules, indicating, under penalty of perjury, that the Schedules are accurate. You may also have to do the Statistical page as well. Again, this is local procedure, but is common in all Districts.
Of course, don't forget to include certified funds in the amount of $26 payable to the United States Bankruptcy Court.
Contact your case manager in the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court's office and ask a procedural question regarding amended Schedule F. You will be glad youdid.

amending schedule f
I just filed Chapter 7 a few days ago, without an attorney.
I was so excited to get this done that I cleaned out my old file cabinet and found 5 excluded debts that were NOT listed on my credit report, or any of my mail for years.
I would like to amend my bankruptcy, however, I cannot find any official forms to do this.
It looks as if you need to somehow type "Amended" on a regular schedule F, and redo the entire schedule with all creditors, not just the ones added, and then type an amended Matrix with only the new creditors. Is this correct? And send a $26.00 fee. There is NO information on my district court website.
If this is not correct, can anyone tell me how to do it?
Also, if I amend now, wouldn't the court notify the amended creditors?
Thanks.
