Beware of payment scams. This office will never ask you to pay by gift card, wire transfer, cryptocurrency, or a payment link sent by text message. Plan payments are made only through the payment methods listed on this website. If you receive a message demanding immediate payment by another method, or threatening dismissal of your case unless you pay at once, do not pay. Contact your bankruptcy attorney, or this office at 954-382-2001, to verify.
