Chapter:
Part III. Claims, Distribution, and Plans
- Motion to Amend. Except as provided below, a claim amendment must be approved by motion.
- Reducing Claim Amounts. A claimant may at any time reduce the secured or unsecured amount of a filed claim by filing an amended claim and serving a copy by regular United States Mail on the debtor, the debtor's attorney, and any appointed trustee. The amended claim is allowed without further order if it does not increase any part of the original claim.
- Collateral Disposition. Unless otherwise provided in a confirmed plan, a creditor may file, without leave of court, an amended proof of claim asserting an unsecured deficiency claim. The amended claim must be filed, for real property, within 180 days, and for personal property, within 90 days after an order granting relief from stay is entered or the property is surrendered by the debtor, whichever occurs first. An amended claim filed under this section is timely but remains subject to any other objection.
