There are generally three fees you have to pay to file bankruptcy: your attorneys fees, the court filing fee, and the credit counseling fee. The filing fee for a Chapter 7 is currently $299 as of 5/13/07, the credit counseling fee (which you pay to an online credit counseling provider to get a certificate required for filing bankruptcy) costs from $35 to $75 (go as cheap as you can find, there is no difference among the providers), and the attorneys fees average around $1,500 across the country but vary from region to region and from case to case depending on the complexity of the case.
