    Need Help with CH 7 issue

    I'm a little confused as to the status of my filing fee. I went to the ECF site and it shows my filing fee was received and entered on 2/26/07. I paid it in full via cashiers check. The only flags were "MEANSNO"
    Today I went back in to check the status and it shows that an amended order for an installment agreement was set up on 3/2/07. The flags now read "FeeDueINST, MEANSNO"
    Why would an installment agreement be set up after I already paid the filing fee in full? Is this just a clerical error or am I expected to pay the fee a second time? I have completed my debt management and counseling class and should be set for discharge.

    I filed chapter 7 on 11/29/06 with the fee waiver. 341 was 1/2/07 and I paid my filing fee on 2/21/07 in full. My deadline for claims is 3/5/07. So far no claims. It still says awaiting discharge.

    Yep, clerks screw up with this sometimes. The clerk at my bankruptcy court forgot to indicate my filing fees as paid when they were...and that held up my discharge for over a month.

    You should talk to the court clerk about it. Be prepared to present your check stub or a photocopy of the check to refresh their memory...after all, the clerk's office sees tons of cases. (I don't know if you can get a copy of the cancelled cashier's check - that'd be great if you could show them that.)

        Called the clerk today and he said everything was fine and it shows my filing fee as paid. Today is the last day for objections/claims. I'm on pins and needles. I have a no asset Chapter 7 and so fire everything has gone smooth. I filed prose!!
