Any good online Bankruptcy site

Good question I don't know that you can...I would like to know this answer as my sister is talking about filing a chapter 7 becuz of medical bills and being off of work with no pay for an extended period of time.

Bankruptcy is one of the most complicated areas with an enormous amount of material involved. It's not something I would want to do without an attorney (or, pro se). If "all of your ducks aren't in a row" when you get to the meeting of creditors, your case is likely to be thrown out.

Honestly, depending on how complicated your case is, you may be able to do the paperwork yourself. I did all the paperwork for a chapter 7, and had no problems. You just follow the directions. But - It was also a no asset case with no secured debt. Very straghtforward and easy.

I just finished preparing paperwork for a bankruptcy for my ex-husband from a website. I now have the paperwork printed out but need some questions answered so I hope someone out will help me out. My first question is this:
Can I go and file the paperwork for him? I know he has to take a counseling class and show up for the meeting of creditors but I think I can go to the courthouse and file the paperwork.

I believe anyone can file the paperwork . . . You don't have to sign anything while there, so I don't see why you couldn't.

But I'd suggest calling your BK courthouse and asking first. That way you don't waste a trip!

goudah where did you get the paperwork to file it yourself? How much did it ultimately cost you to do so? Were there explicit instructions? Thanks.

I used BankruptcyPreparers.Com He has been in business for 14 years and is very good.Don't use Us bankruptcy centers inc.Greg Bohl is a scammer.He also has a site called Consumer bankruptcy services.

You can get the forms online or at your bk courthouse. Most of the forms are federal, but some are state specific. Your state's bk court should have a website with all the forms and instructions for what forms need to be filed.

There are instructions that come with some forms . . . . But not all of them. But most of the forms are pretty straighforward.

My total cost was the $299 filing fee, and $100 for the 2 counseling classes you have to take. That is the absolute cheapest you can file for, unless you qualify to file for free. But you have to be very very low income and such to qualify for that.

But - I'd only recommend doing the paperwork yourself if you have a very simple straightforward case. Mine had no assets and no secured debts. If there was a house involved or something, I don't know that I'd recommend doing it yourself.

In comparison, my total cost was $399. To have an online preparer do it, you would have to pay anywhere from $150 to $500, plus the $399 filing fee and counseling classes. To have a lawyer do everything, it's usually around $1000 to $1500, plus the $399 filing fee and counseling classes. ***These costs are for Chapter 7 BK.

As far as online preparers go, be very careful. These people are just entering data . . . . It's not like they can advise you of anything. They are doing nothing you cannot do for yourself. If you need advice on what to do, you would need to contact a lawyer.

I'm unemployed and qualify for the fee waiver.I did all of my homework before deciding to file.My freind hired a lawyer and he gave me all the info i needed.I spent $249 + $100 for the tests.My trustee was very nice and said that all of my paper work was filled out correctly.My friend also said that the trustees in my town know that the economy around here is bad.They see 25-30 filings daily.

One thing i left out is that my friend hired a lawyer to file bk.I did 2 months of searching the net for everything else.I didn't have assests as well.
