Except as otherwise provided by Rule 1006(b) and (c) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a)(6), all fees which the Clerk is required to collect are due and owing at the time of filing or in advance of performing any requested service.

The appropriate fee shall be in the form of credit card (only from attorneys or non-debtor parties), debit card, cash, or a cashier's check, money order or a check of the attorney for the debtor, made payable to "Clerk, U.S. Bankruptcy Court". Personal checks of the debtor will not be accepted by the Clerk's Office. Cash should not be sent through the mail.
