Fees

NOTICE: Please be advised that cash payments are not accepted at this time. For copy fees, before coming to the Clerk's Office, please call 502-627-5700 and we can assist you in either determining the amount due so a money order or bank/cashier's check can be purchased or discuss other options to obtain documents via online means, such as PACER.


Fees are charged in accordance with 28 U.S.C. Section 19.30 and the fee schedule issued by the Judicial Conference.  For the current fee schedule, please use the menu links to the left.

Payments may be made with a cashier's check, certified check, money order or business check.  No cash, personal checks, third party checks, or other negotiable instruments will be accepted. All checks and money orders shall be made payable to Clerk, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, and fees are accepted at the Customer Service counter from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (Eastern Time), Monday - Friday, except federal holidays and any additional days the Court may be closed.

Credit cards payments can only be made via PACER/Pay.gov in CM/ECF by attorney/creditor/trustee filers with internet payment access. Credit card payments are no longer accepted at the Clerk's Office Customer Service counter. The following credit cards can be used for on-line payment: American Express, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and Diners Club.

When submitting fees to the Court by mail, the Clerk's Office must be able to determine the purpose of the payment at the time the mail is processed or the payment may be returned to you. Ideally, please include a copy of the Order, Notice to Deposit Funds, Final Report distribution page, or other document from the record that details the purpose of the payment. At a minimum, you should have clear information on the check or money order OR on a note that accompanies the payment.
