Pay.gov Will Require Security Code
Beginning February 1, 2007, all district and bankruptcy court CM/ECF users that pay fees through the Pay.gov system will be required to complete the security code field to complete the transaction. The security enhancement was implemented after an erroneous credit card charge appeared on an individual’s statement. A CM/ECF user apparently transposed his or her credit card numbers and also matched the expiration date for the other credit card, so the charge to the other person was approved for payment.
