    Sure you can…are you filing a Chapter 7 or 13??? Make sure you complete all the requirements first before filing. You need to file a certificate of counseling before you can even file bankruptcy. The filing fee alone is $299.00.

    I believe that you can. However, once you file Chapter 13, your meeting of creditors will be about 30 days out. And by that time most of the work is already done. I would consult an attorney, most will give you an initial consultation for free. And if it’s a money issue that is keeping you from using an attorney, my attorney took a minimal fee up front, and is collecting the rest via my payments. The only reason I would recommend no filing Pro SE is that if there are any mistakes or issues than the bank can file a petition to throw the case out and proceed with foreclosure anyway.
