Bankruptcy Filing Fees to Increase on Nov. 1

Filing fees that are paid to the Bankruptcy Court at the time of filing a Bankruptcy Petition are going up by $7 for all chapters as of November 1, 2011. That means that the fee for a Chapter 7 case will go up from $299 to $306, and the filing fee for a Chapter 13 case will go up from $274 to $281. Plan accordingly.
