Therefore, you must be certain that it is correct when you sign these documents. If, however, you later discover that something is inaccurate or incomplete, the documents may be corrected by filing either an “amendment” or an “amendment to” the documents with the Clerk's Office. Any amendment to schedules or statements must be signed and verified by the debtor(s), and a fee of must be paid in certain situations. A link to the fee schedules is provided below.
