There is no such thing. Bankruptcy costs the same, regardless of your debt. It should cost your around $2500.

How do I get a bankruptcy off of my credit report?

Pamela L. Stewart
Answered by attorney Pamela L. Stewart (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Pamela L. Stewart, Attorney at Law
Unfortunately, you can't get the bankruptcy off your credit report. By law, credit reporting agencies have the right to report a bankruptcy for ten years from the date the case was filed. The bankruptcy is a part of your credit history - you don't dispute the fact that you filed for bankruptcy. Two years after bankruptcy is a very short time to expect to be obtaining credit and loans - especially considering where the economy is. Even if your credit was just okay, I doubt you would be able to get a mortgage loan at this point. Give it time, as your bankruptcy ages, it will have less weight on your credit score. Meanwhile, you should pay on time for whatever debt, bills you may have.

If you're in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy plan, can you file a Chapter 13 instead?

If the chapter 7 case has not been closed, you can convert to chapter 13. Discuss with an attorney to find out if that is the best option for you.
