ACH - Payments to the Trustee from 3rd Parties



This process is designed for any organization sending payments to the Chapter 13 Trustee’s office on behalf of a debtor or pursuant to a court order.


For example, the organization may have been ordered to make payments on behalf of a debtor pursuant to a wage deduction order or the organization may have been ordered to make payments on behalf of a debtor pursuant to an order directing payment under an insurance settlement or real estate closing. If your organization sends physical checks to the Chapter 13 office, we invite you to sign up for our fast ACH payment option.


Participation is easy. All you need is the ability to make payments from your financial institution electronically.


Please note, this option is only intended for payments related to a bankruptcy case and is not designed for vendors of the Chapter 13 Trustee.


Notice: Debtors cannot use this service and must use one of the services listed on the Debtor Payments to the Trustee page.


By sending payments, your company may:



  • Submit payments faster. ACH payments are generally received faster with no time spent sending checks through the mail system.​
  • Increase security. With ACH payments, there are no paper checks to be managed.


For Attorneys:



Pros of paying us electronically:



  • If your debtor is placed under a show cause and shows up 2 days before court with a payment, there is no way that payment will make it to us in time if sent through the mail system. If paying electronically, that payment can be to us the same day or the next business day.
  • ePay will not work for attorneys to send us payments on behalf of the debtor because if you use the debtor’s epay account, you will be giving the debtor access to your full trust account number.




What you need to do:



(Step 1)



  • Complete the Application to pay via ACH located below this section.
  • The main purpose of the application is a tool to allow us the ability to relate a payment to a specific organization and a direct contact to quickly resolve any issues that may arise.



What to expect once the application has been submitted:



(Step 2)



  • You will receive an email confirmation from ach@ch13wdva.com which will include our bank account information for you to be able to submit payments electronically.

OR

  • You will receive an email from ach@ch13wdva.com requesting more information before approval of the application.


What information we need from you to ensure funds are correctly applied:



(Step 3)



  • Using this system assumes the organization’s bank provides it the ability to initiate an ACH payment from its account to another account. Each bank’s interface to allow this may be different so this step must be developed with your bank and must follow your bank’s rules and guidance on how to send an ACH payment to a recipient.
  • Once you have submitted the payment through your banking institution for us to receive payment, an email of the check voucher should be emailed to us at ach@ch13wdva.com.
