How Bell filers pay for bankruptcy
Paying for bankruptcy is usually easier than people expect. Our flat Chapter 7 fee can be paid over time before we file, on a schedule we put in writing. The court's $338 fee can be split into up to four payments within 120 days, and low-income filers can ask to have it waived. Many clients also use the money they had been sending to credit card companies, after checking with us first.
Could your Bell household get the filing fee waived?
About 21.6% of Bell residents live below the federal poverty line. If your household income is under 150% of the poverty guideline and you cannot pay in installments, the court may waive the Chapter 7 filing fee.
| Household size | Yearly income |
|---|---|
| 1 person | Under $23,940 |
| 2 people | Under $32,460 |
| 3 people | Under $40,980 |
| 4 people | Under $49,500 |
The court's own form decides the final answer. See filing fees, waivers and installments for how it works.
Making bankruptcy fit a Bell budget
Only 61.4% of Bell adults are in the labor force, so some households get by on one paycheck. That is why we offer payment plans on our attorney fee. Once you decide to file, you can usually stop paying credit cards that will be wiped out and put that money toward the case. The court allows its $338 fee in up to four installments over 120 days. If you have a small business downtown, ask us how business debt fits into your case.
Affordable Chapter 13 for Bell families
About 26.5% of Bell homes are lived in by their owners. Owners behind on a mortgage often need Chapter 13, and its fee works differently. With Chapter 13, you usually do not pay the whole attorney fee before filing. The plan pays much of it over time, and the court sets $7,000 as the standard limit for most consumer cases. The Chapter 13 filing fee is $313. We quote your fee in writing. See what Chapter 13 costs.
