It is mainstream knowledge that you must spend about $700 (or more) to file bankruptcy. In this post I am going to tell you "how to file bankruptcy for free"....(can you?)
Like anything else, filing BK can be done yourself. DIY (do it yourself) bankruptcy is very easy and fairly painless if you are an organized person. However, there is no way you can possibly file bankruptcy for free...not 100% free. I know you're probably dead broke, but they still make you pay. LOL
Why, you ask? What are you paying for? Well, read the following free bankruptcy info to find out:
Well, first of all, there are bankruptcy filing fees that everyone must pay when filing bankruptcy. Sometimes it is possible to get these filing fees waived, but this is certainly not likely to happen unless you have extremely low or no income. You cannot file bankruptcy for free. Most of the time you are required to pay upfront and in a few circumstances you can set up a payment plan.
Second, the are new bankruptcy laws in effect that require you to take credit education classes. And nope...they aren't free. They cost about $60. You might be able to get these for free if you have an attorney through a free legal aid program AND can quialify with a low enough income. Once again, you can't learn how to file bankruptcy for free - even if you wanted to.
Third, there is the inevitable cost of an attorney. Sometimes there are state funded programs where you can get legal representation for free, but there are waiting lists for these programs. For most people, getting legal aid for free is out of the question.
As always, I am providing free bankruptcy information with my honest answers. I hope you get some value out of this.
So does this answer your question about "how to file bankruptcy for free"? Look at it this way: There's no such thing as a free lunch...and there's no such thing as a free bankruptcy! Plain and simple! End of story!
All the best,
