As of this writing, debtors must pay a filing fee of $245, an administrative fee of $39, and a trustee surcharge fee of $15 for a total of $299 in fees. Debtors will pay this in addition to the fees they will pay their attorney. Failure to pay the required fees can result in dismissal of the bankruptcy petition. However, there is a form for debtors who wish to seek a waiver of the fee because of extreme financial hardship. The form is available at http://www.uscourts.gov/rules/BK_Forms_1207/B_003B_1207f.pdf.
