**IMPORTANT UPDATE** Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC) Service Disruption

As previously advised in the Court’s October 13, 2026 communication, the Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC) is still experiencing a nationwide service disruption. The Court continues to accept filings, open cases, and process documents as usual. Until the issue is resolved, however, entry and service of Court notices and orders may be delayed. This includes Section 341 Meeting Notices.

The disruption also affects CM/ECF users' access to the mailing matrix.  Until it is resolved, CM/ECF users who need to serve pleadings or delegated notices and orders can find creditor and party addresses for a case by following the steps below:

To obtain creditors and parties in a case:

  1. In CM/ECF, select Query from the menu.

  2. Enter the case number, then select Run Query.

  3. Select the Creditor link. Leave  “Creditor type” blank, then select Run Query to view creditors and addresses.

  4. Select the Party link to see parties and addresses.

  5. Compare creditor and party lists to ensure a complete list.

 

Please note: These lists may not include addresses registered with the BNC’s Electronic Bankruptcy Noticing (EBN) program or the National Creditor Registration Service (NCRS). Parties and counsel should check service requirements to make sure every required party receives notice, including parties who don’t appear on these lists.

The Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC) is experiencing a nationwide service interruption that has prevented the delivery of any paper or electronic mailings since Friday, 10/9.  This includes the bnc.uscourts.gov, bankruptcynotices.uscourts.gov, and notices.uscourts.gov websites, as well as the NCRS (National Creditor Registration Service) website that supports CM/ECF access to address labels for generating a service matrix. 

The court's CM/ECF Notice of Electronic Filing (NEF) email system continues to operate in the normal course, and CM/ECF registered users will continue to receive NEFs via email.
