Q: I just filed chapter 7 bankruptcy on 2/14/18. I discovered a bill that I didn't include. Can I add it now?
A: Yes, you can amend to add a creditor. There is a Fee for doing same, and you can find it on the Courts Website

A: Yes. There is a $31 filing fee to add a creditor. If you think you may have any more, you could wait and put them all in one filing to save money. It's $31 no matter how many you add if you do it at one time. Hope it works out. Good luck!

A: Yes you can add it now. Don't you have an attorney?
A: Generally in the Eastern District of NY you shouldn't have to go through the formal process of amending to add the creditor. Usually just sending the creditor a notice of the filing and discharge is sufficient. Most Judge's in the EDNY would consider the debt discharged if your case was a no asset case.
