Payment Information

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, TFS/Moneygram or employer withholding.
