The Bankruptcy Court in Sacramento recently alerted Sacramento Bankruptcy Attorneys to changes to the bankruptcy filing fees for Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases.
Effective June 1, 2014, the bankruptcy filing fee will go up for the most commonly filed bankruptcy cases in Sacramento.
The filing fee for a new Chapter 7 case will be $335. The old filing fee was $306.
The filing fee for a new Chapter 13 case will go up to $310. Previously, the Chapter 13 filing fee was $281.
You can see a list of all of the changes made to the fee schedule at the Eastern District of California’s website.
As a service to my clients that have signed up for their bankruptcy prior to the fee change, I will be crediting the filing fee difference. Clients retain my firm after the June 1, 2014 date will be required to pay the increased filing fee for their Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
Please contact my office should you have any questions about the new bankruptcy fee schedule in Sacramento. I can be reached at (916) 333-2222.
