Electronic Bankruptcy Noticing:

Electronic Bankruptcy Noticing, or EBN, refers to a group of electronic services available from the Bankruptcy noticing Center that federal courts can use to send bankruptcy notices to attorneys, creditors, and trustees.
The Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maine offers two additional methods for recipients to receive notices: Internet e-mail and Fax. Internet e-mail noticing is intended for recipients who want the speed and convenience of receiving notices on-line. Fax noticing is intended for recipients who do not want to set up Internet e-mail accounts but who want to eliminate slower noticing by U.S. mail. Click on the links below to view details on the e-mail or fax noticing requirements. These documents are in PDF format.

Unclaimed Funds Information:

Unclaimed funds are funds held by the court for an owner or recipient who is entitled to the money, but who has failed to claim ownership of it. Unclaimed funds may arise out of a variety of circumstances. For example, delivery of a payment may not be possible because of faulty or incomplete address information for the recipient or dividend checks from bankruptcy cases may not be cashed. The U.S. Courts, as custodians of these funds, have established policies and procedures for holding, safeguarding, and accounting for these funds.
Review the Unclaimed Funds Ledger to see if you are due to receive any funds from this court. If you are due unclaimed funds, please follow the Requirements for Claiming Funds using the Application for Unclaimed Funds and the Sample Order Authorizing Payment of Unclaimed Funds. If you have any questions about unclaimed funds, please contact the court financial specialist at (207) 780-3482 ext. 241. Click on the links below to view the documents in PDF format.
