What Does It Cost to File a Bankruptcy Case?
If you file a Chapter 7 case, you will need to pay the entire flat-fee upfront before the case is filed. Flexible payments plans can be arranged as 360 Legal℠ works on preparing your bankruptcy case. 360 Legal℠ will work with you to determine a fee structure that works best for your needs.* Unlike a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case, all of the legal fees must be paid before your case is filed.
When a Chapter 13 case is being filed, 360 Legal℠ offers low down payments to get your case started. The remaining portion of the unpaid fee can be included as a debt in your Chapter 13 plan.
Expenses
In addition to being responsible for paying legal fees, you are also responsible for any associated expenses. Whether for one person or a married couple, it now costs $306 to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case, $281 to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case and $1,213 to file a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case. In certain circumstances, the bankruptcy court agree to waive the Chapter 7 filing fee or allow you to pay it in installments.
Separate from the filing fee, you are also responsible for the following expenses:
