ATTENTION PRO SE DEBTORS AND OTHER UNREPRESENTED PARTIES
During the course of a bankruptcy case or proceeding, bankruptcy court notices are mailed by the Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC) on behalf of the court. The BNC, which is operated by a private contractor, provides notice production and mailing services for the court, but THE BNC IS NOT THE COURT.
DO NOT SEND DOCUMENTS TO THE BNC.
Documents related to a bankruptcy case or proceeding should be sent directly to the court.

The dollar amount and due date of each payment will be stated in the Order Approving Payment of Filing Fee In Installments, Form EDC 2-021, prepared by the Clerk and returned to the debtor.
Please destroy all previous versions of EDC 2-020 and begin using the revised form effective immediately. Revised EDC 2-020 is posted on the Forms and Publications page of this web site, or click here.
