Mississippi - Southern District: Amendment Guide – Upsolve

Special Notice Requirement for all amendments

Y - see links in table below

Dear Upsolver!

Even though bankruptcy laws and rules are federal and the same everywhere in the United States, each bankruptcy district has its own local rules and local forms. Upsolve’s tool meets all federal requirements but does not yet account for the more than 90 variations due to local rules.

While we work on automating that part of the process, we’ve developed a series of location specific guides to assist you in making sure the amendment process goes smoothly. Be sure to follow the instructions in this guide carefully.

The amendment packet you generated through Upsolve includes the following:

Amendment Coversheet with Certificate of Service
Your amended bankruptcy forms, including signature pages and, if necessary, updated Official Form 106Sum.

Here is what you need to do to make sure you meet the requirements for the Southern District of Mississippi, where your case is pending:

Coversheet

As your district does not require a specific coversheet, you may use the coversheet provided by Upsolve.

Notice Requirements

There are different notice forms to mail out with the amendment. Which notice form to use depends on the schedule(s) you’re amending.

Document	Mail To*	Local Form for Notice
Creditor Matrix (only)	Affected creditors	MSSB-A7-3
Amended Schedule C	All creditors; attach copy of court’s mailing matrix	MSSB-ASCH-C
Amended Schedule D, E/F & Creditor Matrix	Affected creditors	MSSB-A7-1 (No asset case) MSSB-A7-2 (Asset case)
Amended Schedule G	Affected creditors/parties	MSSB-ASCH-G
Amended Schedule H	Affected creditors/parties	MSSB-ASCH-H

*No matter which form you’re updating, make sure to send a copy of the amendment to your case trustee AND the United States Trustee’s Office..

Certificate of Service

The form of notice you’re sending out along with the amendment includes a certificate of service.

Updating your Creditor Matrix

The Southern District of Mississippi requires an amended creditor matrix that lists all creditors and their addresses. You can download your full matrix as a .txt. file from your my.upsolve account.

In the event the clerk instructs you to provide a supplemental creditor matrix, losing only the newly added or updated creditors: The easiest way to create a supplemental matrix is by going back to the case editor and downloading your matrix as a .txt file. From there, you can easily delete all creditors except for the newly added/updated one(s).

Verification of your Creditor Matrix

This is basically a signature page to add to your creditor matrix. The Upsolve generator will create this document for you in a format acceptable to the court in your district.

If you get conflicting information from your local bankruptcy court, follow their instructions. We do our best to keep these guides up to date, but your local bankruptcy court is the final authority on their process.
