Isn't the failure to redact the SSN a violation of California Civil Code section 1798.85? I have no prior dealings with this section, so I don't know if it applies to bk court filings and I don't know off-hand what the remedy is under that section for a violation. But it might be worth your taking a few minutes to look at it unless someone else has a better suggestion.

Since this
post is getting so much
activity, (smirk), I figured I'd narrow down my
question:
It seems that LBR 9037-1 allows a motion to redact
from documents
already filed. But LBR 1002-1(e) states that:
(2) The responsibility for redacting these personal
identifiers
rests solely with the debtor and debtors counsel.
The court
will not review documents for compliance with this
rule.
Thus it would seem, unfairly, that the debtors are
responsible
for redacting personal identifiers filed by other
parties.
Does anyone see a way I can get the court to order the
creditor to
pay my fees in filing the Motion? There's no
room in the Ch. 13
case budget for me to be paid from plan payments.
Thanks

As we all are, I'm very
diligent in redacting social security numbers when
filing
documents with the court.
I just had a proof of claim come in from a former
accountant of
the debtor who attached a power of attorney and other
documents
that contain the debtor's (and her ex
spouse's) SSNs.
I've never run across this before. What should
be done? Motion
to seal the document or something? Can I get
sanctions against
the creditor for filing them?
