What will it cost me to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Hi Lamont

It is sad that you are opting for bankruptcy. Before you actually take the final step, I will alert you that bankruptcy will do the worst in your credit report and will stay up to 10 years.

If you are not having any alternative, then you can settle your debt with your creditors. At least, it won't be having as much devastating effects like the bankruptcy.

If you have finally decided to opt for it then the cost for filing is:

Chapter 7 - $200 ($170 filing fee + $30 noticing fee)

Chapter 13 - $185 - ($155 filing fee + $30 noticing fee)

The fee is the same when filing a joint petition with a spouse.

I wish to prey for your better life in the future.
