    Paying filing fee in installments

    Does anyone know whether paying the filing fee for a Chapter 7 in installments has any effect on the date of the 341 hearing?

    I'd want to file a few days before I'll have the entire fee to get things going and would prefer the wait for the 341 hearing not to be prolonged.

    Thanks for your help.

    I don't think an installment plan on the filing fees affects your 341 schedule at all. I had paid my filing fees in installments, and my 341 was scheduled as "normal". It was later continued for a completely different reason. But I went ahead and paid my filing fees in advance of the approved installment plan and in advance of the original 341, just to make it look it good. I didn't need as much time as I asked for to begin with, but I designed my installment plan with a worst case scenario in mind. Good luck!

        The filing fee doesn't affect the 341 Meeting. However, you won't get a discharge until the entire fee is paid. Also, if you don't pay on time, they will dismiss your case.
