Payment Options

The Debt Doctors offer affordable payment options. You can retain the Debt Doctors for as little as $100. Once you pay the minimum retainer, The Debt Doctors will help you manage your creditors and be available for legal advice and pre-petition planning. During this time you can set up weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly payment plans. Once you have provided The Debt Doctors with the full balance of your attorneys’ fees, filing fees, and all requested information we will prepare your petition and file your case.

We can accept cash, money orders, cashier’s checks, and even a credit card from a friend or family member that is not filing.
