How much does it cost to file for bankruptcy in Maryland? How can I pay for filing for bankruptcy?

Filing for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Maryland requires the payment of a $299 filing fee. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing, however, requires the payment of a $274 filing fee. If you are unable to afford the Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing fee, you do have the option of applying for a filing fee waiver through the bankruptcy court, or for setting up a payment plan in order to pay off the filing fee over time.
