What does it cost to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy?
A. At our firm, the average fee for a Chapter 7 case is between $1,400 and $1,800. The Court imposes a fee of $299 which also must be paid before filing as does a credit counseling fee of $50. After filing a bankruptcy case “debtor education” is required and is provided by federally approved agencies at a cost of about $25. When $250 is paid towards the legal fees, MittelAsen, LLC is retained to receive creditor calls even before the actual filing. Clients can make payment arrangements for the balance of fees and court costs.
