How Much Does Bankruptcy Cost?

Investing in Your Financial Future

It may seem strange that filing bankruptcy costs money. The relatively small amount of money you pay to file bankruptcy, however, is an investment in your future. Bankruptcy is a sure and effective way to quickly address all of your debt issues while minimizing the compounding costs, including interest and fees. As you have probably already found, unmanageable debt accrues until it is simply impossible to overcome, paycheck by paycheck.

Bankruptcy Is an Answer to Overwhelming Debt

Taking action now allows you to quickly and effectively address all of your debt issues at once. Working with an experienced bankruptcy attorney is an opportunity to review your comprehensive debt situation, including your income, assets and debts. The cost of bankruptcy includes:

• Bankruptcy document filing (around $299 for a Chapter 7, $274 for Chapter 13)
• Bankruptcy fees for filing services
• Bankruptcy classes
• Additional fees, interests or setbacks due to mistakes

You may be tempted to cut costs by filing bankruptcy on your own or with the help of the nonlawyers at a bankruptcy filing center. Without the benefits of professional legal advice, however, you may make mistakes that will cost you far more than the expense of hiring a lawyer.
