If you have already paid your debt

If your civilian pay office does not receive full payment, the debt is eventually transferred to us for collection of the outstanding amount. Occasionally, we experience a delay in receiving proper documentation. If you previously paid the same debt, please forward a copy of your receipt or a copy of the front and back of the negotiated check for further research.
