The following items must be filed in order to convert a case from Chapter 13 to Chapter 7:

1.	Original Notice of Conversion, signed by the debtor(s). The signature of the attorney for the debtor is also required. If the attorney filing the conversion is different than the original attorney of record, a Motion and Order to Substitute Counsel must accompany the Notice of Conversion. The case number remains the same after conversion unless there is a deconsolidation. If there is a deconsolidation, a fee in the amount of the current filing fee is required. Currently, the deconsolidation fee is $235.00.

2.	filing fee of $25.00 for conversion of case.

3.

4.	If there are more than five (5) creditors are being added, a matrix containing ONLY the additional creditors with complete addresses is to be submitted. Do not submit a matrix for the entire list of creditors.

RE:	Debtor's Schedule of Additional Creditors

If your client filed Chapter 13 and is now converting the case to Chapter 7, it is possible that debts were incurred that may need to be included under the Chapter 7. If debts were incurred, the names, addresses and amounts owed to these creditors must be filed with the Court in order for the debtor to be discharged of these debts.

Please complete the Schedule of Additional Creditors form, listing the creditors' complete names and addresses and the amounts owed for any indebtedness. This list should only include the debts incurred between the date the debtor's Chapter 13 case was filed and the date the case was converted to Chapter 7 liquidation or any debts not included in the records maintained by the Chapter 13 Trustee's office. This information should be typed or printed legibly.

If there are more than five creditors being added, please attach a matrix with the Schedule of Additional Creditors. The matrix submitted with a conversion should contain ONLY the additional creditors - not an entire matrix of all creditors.

The Notice of Conversion and the Schedule of Additional Creditors along with matrix, if needed, are to be completed and filed with the Court.
