Payment Options

The Trustee does not accept personal checks or bill-pay.

Your first payment is due within 30 days of the date you filed your bankruptcy case. Payments must be made monthly including prior to confirmation of your plan.


Online Payments
Payments can be made online, at any time, through either TFS or EPAY options located on this website’s homepage.  If you have questions about online payments, contact Jamie Swenson (Ext 308).


Cashier’s Check or Money Order
Cashier’s checks and money orders are acceptable forms of payment. Please write your case number and your name on each cashier’s check or money order. Personal checks are not accepted and will be returned to you and may result in you falling behind on your payments to the Trustee. Questions should be directed to Patty Halverson (Ext 306) or Jamie Swenson (Ext 308).  Cashier’s checks and money orders must be sent to:

Office of Trustee Kyle L. Carlson
2900 Momentum Place
Chicago, IL 60689-5329

Envelopes must have correct postage and addresses on envelopes must either be printed or written legibly to ensure delivery. You should retain receipts for cashier’s checks or money orders in the event the envelope is not timely delivered by the USPS.


Phone payments
The Trustee’s phone payment system allows you to make payments from your checking account only over the phone. Debtors should call 1-888-548-0787 and follow the prompts.   Questions regarding phone payments should be directed to Jamie Swenson (Ext 308).
