Gail asked:


I called an attorney and they told me USD$1600. They let you make payments, but won’t file until the whole thing is paid. Is that too much or just right?

      I’ve heard of lawyers charging as little as $900.00 (and made payment arrangements) and as high as $3000 up front.

      Shop around. Also it might depend on how many delinquent accounts you have. I would say around 1000.00 would be normal.
