- AMENDMENTS TO PLANS PRIOR TO CONFIRMATION
(1)
Filing and Service. If a debtor wishes the court to confirm a plan other than the plan originally filed with the court, an amended plan must be received by the chapter 13 trustee and filed with the court at least 8 days before the confirmation hearing. If the amended plan will adversely affect any creditors (for example, if it treats any creditor’s claim less favorably than the previously filed plan), the amended plan must also be served on all such creditors at least 25 days before the confirmation hearing. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in continuance of the confirmation hearing or dismissal of the case. The caption of all amended plans shall identify the pleading as an amended plan (“First Amended Plan,” “Second Amended Plan,” etc.) and shall state the date, time, and place of the confirmation hearing at which the debtor will seek confirmation.
(2)
Amended Plan Payments. If the debtor has filed an amended plan prior to confirmation, the plan payments that come due after the date the amended plan is filed must be made in the amount stated in the amended plan, which may be higher or lower than the amount stated in the original plan. Where successive amended plans are filed, any plan payment that comes due must be made in the amount stated in the most recently filed amended plan.
