Florida Bankruptcy Services charges a flat rate of $250.00 to prepare Chapter 7 bankruptcy for pro se debtors (debtors who do not want to hire an attorney).
Our fees are set by the Bankruptcy Court - not us.
We accept Zelle, money orders, personal checks drawn on a local bank, and cash. Unfortunately, we cannot accept debit or credit cards because we have no way to process them.
If you qualify for a filing fee waiver we will be happy to prepare the necessary documents at no extra cost.
If you do not qualify for a filing fee waiver but do need to pay your filing fees in installments we will be happy to prepare the necessary documents at no extra cost.
There are more costs associated with filing bankruptcy than just our fee. Here's a breakdown of the costs:
Pre-Filing Credit Counseling: $24.00
You pay this directly to debthelper.com.
If the court determines that you qualify for a filing fee waiver then your fee will be refunded.
Post-filing Debtor Education Class: $14.00
You pay this directly to debthelper.com.
If the court approved your filing fee waiver then it's free.
Chapter 7 Filing Fees: $335.00
You pay this directly to the court when you file your bankruptcy documents. The court accepts cash (exact change only) & money orders.
