The Voice Case Information System (VCIS) is a service provided by the federal bankruptcy courts. It allows you, from any standard touch tone telephone, to dial in and get information about a bankruptcy case.
When you call the above VCIS number, the computer will answer the phone and ask you to enter a name. Using the keys on your phone, you must punch in the name of a participant in the case you're interested in. A few seconds after you push the "#" button (indicating that you've finished entering the name) the computer will read you the most current information available about the case.
Using VCIS
- DIAL (504) 589-7879 or Toll Free (866) 375-7879, the VCIS number for the New Orleans Bankruptcy Court.
- ENTER THE NAME of a case participant. Names are given
to the computer by pressing the keys on your telephone that
correspond to the letters in the name. Use the "1" key for the
letters "Q" and "Z", and skip any characters that are not
letters, such as spaces, apostrophes, and dashes.
- If the name is an individual, enter the last name followed by the first name.
- If the name represents a company, type the company name. You probably should leave off such suffixes as "Inc." or "Corp.".
- PRESS THE # KEY to tell the computer you have completed the name.
- LISTEN and the system will read you information about the case. If more than one case matches, information on each case will be read.
