Voice Case Information System

VCIS - Voice Case Information System

The information available over VCIS is limited to the names of the debtor(s), attorney for the debtor, case trustee and judge assigned to the case; the chapter under which the case was filed and the date the case was filed; whether the case is an asset or non-asset case; and the date and time of the meeting of creditors. There is no charge for access to VCIS; a touch tone telephone is required.

What is VCIS? (pronounced "vee-sis")
The Voice Case Information System allows you to call the United States Bankruptcy Court's
computer from any touch tone telephone and hear the following case information read to you
by a computer-synthesized voice:

· Case number
· Names of debtors or principal adversaries
· Case filing date
· Case chapter
· Name of debtor's attorney
· Name of trustee
· Name of judge
· Discharge and closed dates
· Status of the case
· Whether or not the case has assets
· Telephone number of debtor's attorney

What is the charge for using VCIS?
This service is provided free of charge.

When is the service available?
You may call seven days a week, 24 hours per day.

How current is the information?
Since it is retrieved from the court's live database, the information reported is the most current available.

How do I use VCIS?
When you call the special VCIS numbers shown below, the computer will answer the telephone and provide you with detailed instructions. To effectively use the system please have information available before calling.

The District of Montana has one VCIS number:

Using the keys on your telephone touch pad, type the name of a participant in the case and then press the pound (#) key. After a few seconds, the computer voice will read the most current information available regarding the case.
