Abstract: The present automated trustee payments system implements a series of automated processes which significantly reduce, and in many cases, eliminate a creditor user's work that is required to accurately and timely process incoming Chapter 13 Trustee remittances. The automated trustee payments system also effects application of the funds to the proper bankrupt debtor accounts and accounts for the funds against the proper creditor's loan account segments (e.g., the bankruptcy estate pre-petition indebtedness or the post-petition ongoing payments).

Abstract: Automated handling of a notification from a federal court is provided in which its disposition is determined responsively to data contained in the notification, or to data that relates to a matter referred to in the notification. In an illustrative example, an email application identifies an email as a bankruptcy notification. An automated notification handling system enhances the data in the notification email by supplementing the notification email data with related data that is matched from a case management system database, and further follows links in the notification email to download documents that are filed with the court. The documents are copied to storage or appended to the enhanced notification email data. The disposition of the notification is determined by invoking rules responsively to the enhanced notification email data which is then sent, using rules-based routing, to an appropriate destination to be handled, stored or deleted as required.

Abstract: A filing system is configured for automating filings through an electronic submission portal (such as a CM/ECF web portal) by acquiring relevant data from one or more sources (such as a user's system database) and then initiating and completing submission portal-compatible filings using the acquired data through the application of a variety of logic, document templates, rules, text, variables, macros, and/or search strings.
