Application For Waiver or Deferral of Fees
Application For Waiver or Deferral of Fees
Defendant/Respondent
I am asking for deferral or waiver of fees in this case because I am unable to pay all or part of the fees right now. I understand that I must complete the Declaration for Deferral or Waiver of Fees to prove to the court that I do not have enough money to pay the fees. I understand that if I do not, my request can be denied. 1. I am applying for deferral or waiver of the following fees (check ONE box ONLY): Filing Fees Arbitration Fee Other (describe): Filing Fees + Sheriffs Service Fee* Trial Fee Motion Fee
*If you are requesting deferral or waiver of the sheriffs service fee, explain why you cannot find another person to serve the papers. Papers can be served by any competent person who is at least 18 years old, a resident of Oregon (or the state where service is made), and who is not a party to the case or a partys lawyer, employee, officer, or director.
2. If the court defers fees, I understand that: a. The fees are a debt I owe to the State of Oregon, and the court may put me on a payment plan. I agree to pay the fees according to the payment plan. If I fail to do so, the total amount of unpaid fees will be referred for collection. b. The court will enter a judgment against me for the unpaid amount of the fees that are deferred, and the judgment will be enforced regardless of the outcome of the case. c. If the court refers this judgment for collection, administrative and collection costs will automatically be added to the judgment without further notice to me or further action by the court.
3. I understand that if the clerk denies my application, I have the right to ask a judge to review
my application.

Note: Court-specific instructions may be attached. Tips for completing the Declaration: Complete EVERY entry enter N/A for Not Applicable if it does not apply to you. ONLY enter payments that you are legally required to make for yourself or your dependents. If you are paying any expenses for a child who is not your legal dependent, a parent, or anyone else, do NOT include those payments in your Declaration. DL/ID is your Drivers License or identification number. Transportation includes bus passes, parking fees, etc. Vehicle payments and Insurance include all vehicles that you are currently making payments on (cars, trucks, motorcycles, scooters, bicycles, etc.). Liquidation of assets if you sold your valuable possessions, how much would you get? A contingency fee agreement means that your lawyer gets paid part of any judgment or award that you get in this case.
