Generally, if you forgot to put items in a Chapter 13 case or a Chapter 7 ASSET case, then you are stuck if you fail to add those creditors before the case closes. If you forgot to put items in a Chapter 7 NO ASSET case, then you can usually file a Motion to Reopen the case (for which the court charges a $260 fee as of 5/12/07) and then you file an Amended Schedule F (or D or E as is applicable) and add the creditor (for which the court charges a fee of $26 as of 5/12/07). You also have to pay attorneys fees for the attorney who does this for you. To add a debt to an old bankruptcy case, the debt must have been incurred before the case was originally filed unless it was a Chapter 13 converted to Chapter 7, in which case the debt must have been incurred before the case was converted to Chapter 7.
