Bankruptcy info questions
May 22nd, 2012 by Questions
Hello, I just would like to ask that what is the difference between if I file the bankruptcy myself or I get a trustee to file the bankruptcy ?? Also, is there any fee to file the bankruptcy through the trustee and how much??? Thank you very much
