Making Credit Card Payments
Making Credit Card Payments
CM/ECF participants who file documents that require payment of a filing fee must pay the fee via CM/ECF using a credit card. Participants who fail to pay fees due will 1) receive an email at the end of each day containing a list of fees due, and 2) will be locked out of CM/ECF if a filing fee is not paid within 3 calendar days of the date the fee is incurred. Participants who are locked out may login to CM/ECF to pay their fees. However, if they login and fail to pay any fee that is three or more days old they will not be able to continue filing.
IMPORTANT: To facilitate making payments by credit card CM/ECF participants must turn off the pop-up blocker in their browser.
