Making Payments to the Chapter 13 Trustee

Most people have their Chapter 13 payment deducted from their paycheck. Many people, however, are required to send their own payment to the Chapter 13 Trustee. If you are required to send your own payment in, here are a few reminders about that payment:
•If you need to mail your payment, send it to: Chapter 13 Trustee, PO Box 1313, Jackson, TN 38302.
•If you need to take your payment in person, the physical address is: 250 North Parkway, Suite 1, Jackson, TN. This is on North Parkway beside the Madison County Board of Education office, between the Hwy 45 Bypass and Hollywood Drive. They have a drop box so you can drop off your payment any time.
•Be sure to send only a money order or cashier’s check. A personal check or cash will likely get your case dismissed. Money orders are available at most post office locations, Wal-Mart, banks, and other locations.
•Be sure to put your case number on your money order or cashiers check. If you do not have your case number, put your social security number on your money order or cashiers check to make sure your case gets credit for your payment. You may not be the only person with your name, so the Trustee uses these numbers as identifiers.
•If you are sending your own payment in, your case may also be on “probation.” This means that if you don’t pay the full amount on time, your case can be dismissed with no notice. So, pay on time and pay in full.
