Desiree:
There is no difference between Orange County and Los Angeles County
regarding filing Notice of Bankruptcy. Five years ago, I stood at the
filing window of down town Stanley Mosk Courthouse (111 N. Hill Street) to
file a Notice of BK for defendant (client). Client did not file any
response and had not paid the 1st appearance fee. Filing clerk insisted
that I paid the 1st appearance fee. I told her I would not pay for the
fee. And it is up to her if she will take my Notice of BK so that the
judge knows that the defendant had filed for BK. She begrudgingly accepted
the Notice of BK for filing. Thereafter, I will only mail in the Notice of
BK for filing.
These days, because of the Mandatory Electronic Filing for both OC and
LA, the Notice of BK is filed under client's name (pro per). No first
appearance fee also.

Is First Appearance Fee required for Notice of Stay in
Gary, what I have done is mail the Notice of Filing and on the envelope I
put the case number and at the top of the notice I put the Case Name and
Case Number and nothing else. That has worked for me in OC as notice that
one of the parties filed bankruptcy, even if a default has been entered.
And I send a copy to Opposing Counsel.

Mr. Wallace:
If I were you, I will call my credit card and dispute the charge on
my credit card immediately. I had a similar experience. I used a third
party filing service and filed a stipulation in an Orange County State
Court case last year. I did not realize that the other parties (3
defendants) have not filed their first response yet. Therefore, they have
not paid for the first appearance fee. When I submit the stipulation
between my client (plaintiff) and the other three defendants, my credit
card was charged $1305 filing fee. I immediately called my credit card and
dispute the charge. I talked to my filing service and they say the Orange
County court will invalidate the stipulation if the fee is not paid. I
told them I do not care. My client absolutely will not pay for the $1305
first appearance fee for the other parties. So, the first step you should
do is call your third party filing service and talk to them. I am sure
this has happen to them before. They may be able to reverse the charges.
If they do not agree, just call credit card and dispute the charges.

My client absolutely will not pay for the $1305 first appearance fee for the other parties. So, the first step you should do is call your third party filing service and talk to them. I am sure this has happen to them before. They may be able to reverse the charges. If they do not agree, just call credit card and dispute the charges.On Wed, Mar 27, 2019 at 4:51 PM Shai Oved ssoesq@aol.com [cdcbaa] <cdcbaa@yahoogroups.com> wrote:
