Remitting Payment:
Many Chapter 13 cases are set up to have the required
monthly payment deducted automatically by the employer
from the debtor’s paycheck.
In some cases, the debtor may make their payment directly to
the Trustee, and in these cases we offer the following
payment options: Secure ePay system (online or by phone);
checks; money orders; cashier checks or MoneyGram as the
method of payment.
Returned Payment Policy:
Cases that have three returned payments for any reason will
be excluded from making payments via the electronic ePay
system (online or by phone) for a period of six months. During
the exclusion period, payments will only be accepted by
check, money order, moneygram or employer withholding.
