That money goes to the court clerk. The filing fees do not absolutely have to be paid in advance, but I do strongly recommend it. The filing fee for Chapter 11 is $1,717.00. The attorney fee for a Chapter 7 is usually between $1,000.00 and $1,500.00, depending on how complicated the case is. Some newer attorneys and high-volume attorneys do charge less, but as with most things, you get what you pay for. For business cases and other complicated situations, the fee could be much higher.
Credit Damon Winter/The New York Times. 1  After assuring Americans he is not running for president âto make things unstable for the country,â the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald J. Trump, suggested that he might reduce the national debt by persuading creditors to accept something less than full payment.
Trump has contributed to financing his campaign through in-kind gifts and loans. In the third quarter, he made about $100,000 in in-kind contributions to his campaign. Thatâs in addition to the $1.8 million Trump previously loaned the campaign. Trump can pay himself back for the loan with campaign funds at any point. At the same time, Trumpâs businesses have charged significant rent to the campaign. The campaign paid $144,000 for rent in the third quarter to Trump Tower Commercial LLC, Trump Restaurants LLC and the Trump Corp.
