If you can't do that, then what you'll be doing is filing yourself, which is referred to as filing "pro se". If the paperwork is concerning you, you can try using a bankruptcy software like the one at http://www.standardlegal.com and for more information on bankruptcy costs, check out this article: http://www.filingforbankruptcyonline.com/bankruptcycosts.html - hope this helps.

I am in the same circumstance, but have heard that there are attorneys that will take monthly payments. Best of luck to you. I am sorry, but I don't have a low cost solution for you.

They want the money up front before they will file. If you find one that takes payments, it's probably going to cost you a lot of interest. With the new bankruptcy law that took effect last November, bankruptcy is noe more complicated than ever. Normally, I would recommend going to a para-legal, becaue if the paperwork isn't filled out just right the Court will reject your petition. Also, if you try to do it yourself, you may make mistakes that could get your case thrown out or rejected. You need to hire an attorney. Contact Legal Aid. This is an organization that assists folks with little or no money with legal issues. They work on a sliding scale, and they are not out to make money. Pehaps they can assist you. My attorney was about $1800., but I know some are a lot less. It's best to retain an attorney who specializes in bankruptcy law.

But, loan applications and many job applications ask if you have ever filed bankruptcy. Ever. If you lie to get a loan because your bankruptcy is very old, technically you have committed criminal fraud. fight to pay them what you owe and get on with your life. i would fight to pay off the debt. get a job. dont file bankruptcy. its for life. true, it falls off your credit report after 7 or 10 yrs depending on which type of bankruptcy you file.
