How Inglewood, California filers pay for bankruptcy

Most people combine two or three of these:

  1. Spread out the attorney fee. Our Chapter 7 fee is paid before filing, and we work out a payment schedule with you in writing.
  2. Split the court fee. The $338 filing fee can be paid in as many as four parts, all within 120 days of filing.
  3. Ask for a waiver. If your household income is low enough, the court may drop the Chapter 7 filing fee entirely.
