(3) No monthly statement will be required in this case where post-petition mortgage payments are to be made to the chapter 13 trustee through the Plan, unless the amount of the monthly payment is scheduled to change (because of adjustable interest rate, charges paid by the Mortgage Creditor for taxes, insurance, attorney’s fees or any other expenses or fees charged or incurred by the Mortgage Creditor, such as property inspection fees, servicing fees or appraisal fees).

If the secured consumer debt payable to the Mortgage Creditor is not modified by or paid through the Plan and the Mortgage Creditor believes the debtor to be in default, the Mortgage Creditor must send a letter alleging such default to the debtor and the debtor’s attorney upon any perceived or actual default by the debtor and before taking any steps to modify the automatic stay. Form of Communication; Modification of the Automatic Stay; and Motions for Order to Show Cause (1) For the purposes of this Addendum, Mortgage Creditors will be considered to have sent the requisite documents or monthly statements to the debtor or the debtor’s attorney, as applicable, when the Mortgage Creditor has placed the required document in any form of communication, which in the usual course would result in the debtor and the debtor’s attorney receiving the document, to the address that the debtor and the debtor’s attorney last provided to the Court. The form of communication may include, but is not limited to, electronic communication, United States Postal Service or use of a similar commercial communications carrier. (2) To the extent that the automatic stay arising in this case would otherwise prohibit such conduct, the automatic stay is modified as follows: Mortgage Creditors who provide account information or monthly statements under subsections (A)(1-6) above will not be found to have violated the automatic stay by doing so, and Mortgage Creditors may contact the debtor about the status of insurance coverage on property that is collateral for the Mortgage Creditor’s claim, may respond to inquiries and requests for information about the account from the debtor and may send the debtor statements, payment coupons or other correspondence that the Mortgage Creditor sends to its nondebtor customers, without violating the automatic stay. In order for communication to be protected under this provision, the communication must indicate it is provided for information purposes and does not constitute demand for payment.

(4) If a Mortgage Creditor’s regular billing system can provide a statement to the debtor that substantially complies with this Addendum, but does not fully conform to all of its requirements, the Mortgage Creditor may request that the debtor accept such statement. If the debtor declines to accept the non-conforming statement, a Mortgage Creditor may file a motion, on notice to the debtor, the debtor’s attorney and the chapter 13 trustee, seeking a declaration of the Court that cause exists to allow such non-conforming statements to satisfy the Mortgage Creditor’s obligations under this Addendum.
