Chapter 7 Bankruptcy trustee fees is there any more than the 60 dollars?
I live in Ohio and my chapter 7 bankruptcy has been disharged for almost a year. I am hearing now there might be trustee fees. Has any one heard of this? If there is such a thing any clue the cost?
A chapter 7 trustee seeking compensation beyond the standard $60 must file a motion with the court and get approval for the increase fees form the judgment. Section 326 places limits on the amount of this additional compensation based on the valued of the assets administered by the trustee.
If you had a "not asset" case, it is unlikely that the trustee would be seeking additional compensation. If the trustee collected and sold assets for the benefit of creditors, the trustee might file a motion to be paid additional compensation from the proceeds of the sale.

Since the Chapter 7 is a one time clear the field, the fee your attorney charged should have covered the court filing fees, trustee fees, his fee, and any misc. fees. The trustee is the one who would have been responsible from the court to notify all creditors, determine what was collateral or non-collateral debt, and review any dispute (rebuttal) from a creditor. I’m sure there are other things but I’m going off of what I know from working with customers.
