Shortly after 'Hub and I joined the forum, a member stated that she had racked up such a huge PACER bill in her pre-filing planning days, that she actually listed PACER as a creditor and got her bill discharged.

Thanks for the warning JB. ;-) I know it's been awhile, but this thread will always be timely.

I was shocked to see that I had racked-up a $28. bill, last month, from what amounted to simply logging-in a couple times to view how a half dozen other filer's (or their attorneys) filled-out their schedules & summaries, etc.

Hence, I have an issue with how PACER explains their fees; how they charge for viewing the documents. As I understood it, the document viewing fees that PACER charges – were supposed to be for just that, viewing filed documents. However I was charged for EVERY WEBPAGE – I was simply trying to navigate through, before finding and choosing a document to view – after the 'Sign-In' page!

Therefore, I've been planning on writing to the admin.'s at PACER and asking them to waive some of this quarters bill. As I don't feel they made it clear at all – that a user gets charged for EVERY WEBPAGE navigated through – beyond the PACER 'Sign-In' page!

Think I'd be wasting my time? Or that it might be worth a try? Thanks ;-)
