It will cost you $338 to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Vermont and $313 to file under Chapter 13. The fees are the same whether you represent yourself or use an attorney. If you can't afford the filing fee, you can ask to pay in installments over 120 days.

Unlike other types of consumer bankruptcy, Chapter 11 bankruptcy does not strictly define what will happen to debts. Certain types of debts (such as student loans, unpaid child support, and unpaid taxes) are not dischargeable, so if these are part of the bankruptcy, the plan must include a way to pay those back.

The biggest difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 is that Chapter 7 focuses on discharging (getting rid of) unsecured debt such as credit cards, personal loans and medical bills while Chapter 13 allows you to catch up on secured debts like your home or your car while also discharging unsecured debt.

Under Chapter 11, the company's management still oversees daily operations, but must submit more major decisions to the bankruptcy court for approval. While a company is in Chapter 11, its stock may still have some value, but its price will likely have fallen dramatically and will have stopped paying dividends.
