How much does it Cost to File Bankruptcy?

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

The filing fee for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is currently $299 and the fee for a Chapter 13 filing is $274. These fees are subject to change however, as the fees are determined by the court system. Additionally, many courts impose fees for various services provided to debtors, including copying documents, official certificates, additional filings, documents involving adversarial proceedings, and many others. The Trustee may also impose fees on some debtors for services provided, particularly in Chapter 13 proceedings where the Trustee is often paid monthly out of the debtor’s plan.

In addition to the basic fees submitted to the court and the Trustee, many people also choose to employ the services of an attorney to represent them in bankruptcy proceedings and to ensure that all paperwork is done correctly.
