Payment Warning Messages in CM/ECF

Monday, April 7, 2025

During the most recent CM/ECF security update, a new feature was added to prevent the processing of duplicate payments. New warning messages are displayed when fees are reselected for payment. The messages are shown below.

 

Please note, filers may also receive the below-mentioned messages if they are filing multiple pleadings and will be submitting payment at the end of the filing process. This warning appears because CM/ECF may have logged you out of the system in the background without your knowledge. If this occurs and you are certain a fee is due, you may need to log out of CM/ECF, start a new session, and select "Pay Now." You can dismiss the warning by selecting "OK" and proceed with the payment process. If you are unsure whether the payment has been processed or require additional assistance, please feel free to contact Ms. Benita Stripling, the court's Financial Administrator, at 478-749-6844.
