Debtor Information

The Online Payment System is an approved alternative to the use of cashier's checks and money orders by using your checking or savings account to make direct payments to the Trustee. This is an instant payment system, in conjunction with our bank, to provide a verifiable, trustworthy, and more convenient payment option.

In order to use this payment system, you must have an internet connection, your Case Number, the last four digits of your Social Security number, a checking or savings account, and a valid current e-mail address.

Registration: Start by selecting the "Registration" in the ePayment Links box above. This will direct you to the ePay Online Payment Center where you may begin the registration process. Please fill out the registration page and click Next when done. The next page will ask you for your Online Payment ID. This ID number consists of your case number (year and number without the leading or trailing letters, dash or any spaces) and the last four digits of your Social Security number. For example: If your case number is A18-11111-ABC and your Social Security Number is 123-45-6789, your Online Payment ID would be 18111116789. After inputting your Online Payment ID twice, click Next. The next page will provide you one last opportunity to verify your information before submitting. Click Submit Registration if your information is correct.

Making a Payment: Log in and begin by choosing the amount to pay. You will have the choice of making your Current Monthly Payment or another amount. Next, key in your checking or savings account information and select what type of account it is. Routing numbers are always 9 digits long and to the left of your account number (Note: DO NOT use a deposit slip to obtain your routing number. The deposit slip routing number is typically different from the routing number associated with the checking account). Click Submit Payment once your payment information has been input.

1. What should I use as my Username?

For your USERNAME, we strongly recommend that you use your complete email address (if less than 21 characters) or the portion of your email address prior to the @ symbol (if more than 21 characters), as that will help you remember your USERNAME each time you access the system.

2. Do I have to use E-Pay?

No, you may continue to make your payment using a cashier's check, money order, or personal check. You should not use E-Pay to make your monthly plan payments if you have a mandatory payroll deduction order and your payments are being deducted from your paycheck. However, you may use E-Pay to make other one-time payments, such as tax refund payments, to the Trustee.

3. Once I have registered, do I have to use E-Pay every month?

No, you may continue to make your payment using a cashier's check, money order, or personal check.

4. What is my E-Pay Online Payment ID?

Your Online Payment ID is a combination of your case number (year and number without the leading or trailing letters, dash or any spaces) and the last four numbers of your Social Security number (SSN). For example: If your case number is A18-11111-ABC and your Social Security Number is 123-45-6789, your Online Payment IDi would be 18111116789.

5. Do I need to remember and input my E-Pay Online Payment ID every time I log in?

No, you will only need to input this ID number the first time you register. However, it is a good idea to remember this number in case you have issues in the future with E-Pay.

6. I have forgotten my username. How do I find out what it is?

On the login page of the E-Pay Online Bankruptcy Payment Center, there is a link called "Forgotten Your Username?" When you click that link, a new page will open that asks for your Online Payment ID and the email address you provided during registration. Once you provide this information, the system will send you an email with your Username.

7. I have forgotten my password. How do I get a new one?

On the login page of the E-Pay Online Bankruptcy Payment Center, there is a link called "Forgotten Your Password?" When you click that link, a new page will open that requires you to enter your USERNAME and the email address you provided during registration. Once you provide this information, you will receive an email with a new password. Enter it into the login page. Once you have logged in to your account, you should go to Settings and change your password to one of your choice.

8. Can I change my E-Pay password?

Yes, once you are logged in to the E-Pay Online Bankruptcy Payment Center, click on Settings to change your password.

9. What types of bank accounts can be used to make bankruptcy payments through E-Pay?

Only valid checking or savings accounts may be used to make bankruptcy payments by E-Pay. Pre- paid credit and debit card payments are not allowed and these payments will be rejected/returned and may result in your case being ineligible for E-Pay.

10. Where do I find my Checking/Savings Routing and Account numbers?

The routing and account numbers are located on the bottom of your check. The routing number is always a 9 digit number and appears to the left of your account number. DO NOT look for these numbers on a deposit slip, as the routing number may be different from your checking/savings routing number. If you are unable to find your routing and account numbers, please contact your bank for help.

11. What happens if my payment is returned as Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF?)

Your access to E-Pay will be revoked and you will not have the option of using E-Pay for the duration of your bankruptcy case. You will then be required to make your monthly payments by using cashier's checks or money orders and mailing them to our office.

12. How soon will my bankruptcy payment be taken from my bank account and posted to my bankruptcy case?

Bankruptcy payments made prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time will be debited from your account the next business day. Please visit the National Data Center at www.ndc.org in approximately 3 business days if you would like to verify that your payment has been posted to your case.

13. Will I receive a receipt upon making a payment?

Yes, you will receive an automated email with your payment information listed in the body of the email.

14. Is there a ceiling to how much I can pay at one time?

Yes, the limit is $9,999.99 per transaction.

15. Can I make partial payments?

Yes. If you can't afford to make your full plan payment at one time, you may make several smaller payments through the month. However, please keep in mind that this does not affect the due date for your payments. Even though you have the ability to make smaller payments throughout the month, the full amount of your payment is still due on your payment due date.

16. What is the Bank Processing Fee of $2.00?

This fee covers the administrative cost for our bank to offer you the E-Pay service. The Trustee does not receive this money.

17. Why are my payments held for 40 days?

Payments are held protect the Trustee in the event the payment is returned for non-sufficient funds (NSF) or reversed by the bank for any other reason. After 40 days, the funds are typically available for disbursement to your creditors.

18. Are all of my bankruptcy payments listed in the E-Pay Payment History?

The E-Pay Payment History only displays the payments made through the E-Pay Online Payment System. It will not display payments made through other payment sources. For a full payment history in your case, please go to the National Data Center at www.ndc.org.

19. What does this message mean when I'm trying to log in?

"At this time there is no payment data available or there may not be a payment due. Please use the Contact Us link on the login page if you need additional information."

If you receive this message when trying to log in, your account may be locked. See the next question below regarding locked accounts.

20. Why is my E-Pay account locked?

There are several reasons why your account may be locked. The Trustee reserves the right to lock your account and to prevent you from making payments online. The main reasons why the Trustee would lock an account include: a non-sufficient funds payment (NSF), a debtor placing a stop payment on submitted funds, or the conversion or dismissal of your case. If your account has been locked and you are still required to make payments, please send cashier's check or money order to our mailing address.

21. Where do I find my monthly payment information?

Please visit the National Data Center at www.ndc.org for your monthly payment information.
