ANNOUNCEMENTS |
PACER Fee Increase
In September 2011, the Judicial Conference of the United States authorized an increase in the Judiciary’s electronic public access fee in response to increasing costs for maintaining and enhancing the electronic public access system.
- Fee increase - from $0.08 to $0.10 per page
- Will take effect on April 1, 2012
The Conference was mindful of the impact this increase could have on other public entities and on public users accessing the system to obtain information on a particular case. For this reason, local, state and federal government agencies will be exempted
from the increase for three years. Also, PACER users who do not accrue charges of more than $15.00 in a quarterly billing cycle will not be charged a fee.
(The current exemption is $10.00 per quarter.) |
Local Rules Changes Effective 12-1-2011

Proof of Claim Form: The bankruptcy court has discontinued transmitting Official Form B10, Proof of Claim, through the BNC.
- We have transmitted this form as an attachment to certain notices, such as the Meeting of Creditors notice, to provide creditors convenient access to the form.
- However, the vast majority of these forms are not being utilized. Therefore, as a cost saving measure, the BNC will cease creating and transmitting the Proof of Claim form for all bankruptcy courts.
- The form can be accessed via the Forms/Official Forms link.

CM/ECF Uniform Log In Structure Now Available
The Bankruptcy Courts in the Western, Middle and Eastern Districts of North Carolina collaborated to develop a new log in structure that will allow users to have the same log in and password in each district. In addition, it is possible to link your PACER login to your CM/ECF account. The systems in each court are not linked, so it will still be necessary to log into each district separately to perform any CM/ECF filing functions for each specific district. However, we hope the use of the same login and password structure is a step in the right direction to simplify your CM/ECF filing needs in the North Carolina Bankruptcy Courts.
If you wish to take advantage of this opportunity, please contact the CM/ECF help desk staff to have your log in information updated. |
