Be advised there are new procedures you must follow BEFORE you can file for bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005
With limited exceptions, people who plan to file for bankruptcy protection must get credit counseling from a government-approved organization within 180 days before they file. They also must complete a debtor education course to have their debts discharged.
In general, you must file a certificate of credit counseling completion when you file for bankruptcy, and evidence of completion of debtor education after you file for bankruptcy – but before your debts are discharged. Only credit counseling organizations and debtor education course providers that have been approved by the U.S. Trustee Program may issue these certificates. To protect against fraud, the certificates are produced through a central automated system and are numbered.
If you cancel the credit counseling, this may affect your ability to file unless you are going through an agencie not recognized by the government.
Save your cash, don’t pay them.
No need to keep paying, save your $$ for Attorney/Filing fees.
Good luck.
