Help Me please scripting 101

Hi, I had to pull a handful of account numbers from a file into a table. Now I want to do a basic list from a directory in my program showing me if any files for these customers exist. There are files associated with each client and need to be processed individually.
$Paytos = 00153301 00153302 00153303 00153304 (=client numbers)

ls -tr ${Paytos}

This would list anything equal to 00153301 00153302 00153303 but I need it to list the following files:
00153301.100109
00153302.100109
00153303.100109

I tried ls -tr ${Paytos}.* but no go?

Thanks.

userdel

USERDEL(8)						      System Manager's Manual							USERDEL(8)

NAME

       userdel - Delete a user account and related files

SYNOPSIS

       userdel [-r] login

DESCRIPTION

       The  userdel  command modifies the system account files, deleting all entries that refer to login.  The named user must exist.  The options
       which apply to the userdel command are:

       -r     Files in the user's home directory will be removed along with the home directory itself and the user's mail spool.  Files located in
	      other file systems will have to be searched for and deleted manually.

FILES

       /etc/passwd - user account information
       /etc/shadow - secure user account information
       /etc/group - group information

CAVEATS

       userdel will not allow you to remove an account if the user is currently logged in.  You must kill any running processes which belong to an
       account that you are deleting.  You may not remove any NIS attributes on an NIS client.	This must be performed on the NIS server.
