The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida is now offering a new way for you to receive bankruptcy notices from the court. You may now choose to receive overnight bankruptcy notices via Internet email or transmitted as a fax to your office. Electronic noticing will provide notices days faster than the U.S. Mail.

Should you elect the Internet email alternative, your e-mail provider must provide a return receipt to confirm that the notice was properly delivered to your e-mail account. The notice will be attached to the message as a file in Portable Document Format (pdf). A free pdf reader plug-in is available at www.adobe.com.

Please visit the Electronic Bankruptcy Noticing web page at www.ebnuscourts.com for detailed information about this new free electronic noticing service including a list of known return receipt email providers, the Electronic Noticing Implementation Guide and Electronic Bankruptcy Noticing Questions and Answers. An Electronic Bankruptcy Noticing Agreement must be signed and returned to the Bankruptcy Noticing Center to initiate this service.

Your participation in the free electronic bankruptcy noticing program is encouraged, since we believe it will offer many benefits to you and the court. If you choose not to participate, you will continue to receive printed bankruptcy notices in the mail, just as you do now.

For complete electronic noticing information, visit the electronic noticing web page at www.ebnuscourts.com or call the Bankruptcy Noticing Center toll-free at 1-877-837-3424 for free technical support.
