Notice of Available Chapters Form Change Effective 11/1/11

ATTENTION RE:  Notice of Available Chapters Form Change Effective 11/11

The court is receiving a high number of petitions with the incorrect Notice of Available Chapters reflecting old filing fees, which causes the court to issue deficiency notices for this document.

Please be aware that the correct form with revision date of 11/11 should be filed in order to avoid receiving a deficiency for this document.

Attorneys are encouraged to verify the correct forme is being used by their software proviers, as applicable.

Best regards,

REMINDER RE: Master Mailing List (List of Creditors) and List of Creditors in Text (.txt) Format

ATTENTION ALL PETITION FILERS RE: REMINDER RE: Master Mailing List (List of Creditors) and List of Creditors in Text (.txt) Format

This is a reminder that when filing petitions electronically via the CM/ECF system, the Master Mailing List (List of Creditors) must be submitted as the last document to the petition PDF.  Omitting this document will cause a deficiency notice to be issued by the court.

In addition, the electronic version of the List of Creditors must be uploaded in Text (.txt) format as an additional step once the petition has been filed.  Omiting this step will cause a Notice of Dismissal of Case if Required Documents are not filed within 72 hours.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Best regards,

E-Blast from ECF Support re Interruption in Pay.gov Service [January 21, 2012 and February 4, 2012]

EBLAST TO EXTERNAL USERS:

Pay.gov, the national electronic payment system used by the Court, will be undergoing a system upgrade that will require two interruptions in the capability of CM/ECF to accept payments.  CM/ECF users will not be able to make payments for fee documents on Saturday, January 21, 2012 from 3:00 PM to approximately 5:00 PM and again on February 4, 2012 from 3:00 PM to approximately 5:00 PM.  However, CM/ECF will be available during this period.  Payments for fee-related filings made during this interruption must be settled later in the day, or the CM/ECF user will be blocked from using CM/ECF.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.  Should you have any questions, please contact the ECF Help Desk during normal business hours at (213) 894-2365.
