Post- Bankruptcy Counseling

7/9

Post-bankruptcy counseling:

A debtor education course by an approved provider should include information on developing a budget, managing money, using credit wisely, and other resources. Providers are on the same list as the agencies approved for pre-bankruptcy counseling and can be found at www.usdoj.gov/ust/eo/bapcpa/ccde/de_approved.htm offsite link.

Cost -- including when a counseling session is free:

Like pre-filing counseling, debtor education may be provided in person, on the phone, or online. The debtor education session might last longer than the pre-filing counseling -- about two hours -- and the typical fee is between $50 and $100.

As with pre-filing counseling, if you are unable to pay the session fee, you should seek a fee waiver from the debtor education provider.

Certificate showing you received post-bankruptcy counseling:

When the course is complete, you will receive a certificate. There should be no extra charge unless it was disclosed before.
