From Bankrate:

Conversion from a Chapter 13 to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy costs $15.

Experts say most debtors change from a Chapter 13 to Chapter 7 because they did not have the money to meet the payment plan.

Petitioners do get one break: Conversions from a Chapter 7 bankruptcy to a Chapter 13 do not require a fee.

Henry Sommer, executive director of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, says one reason for this type of conversion is the debtor is facing a challenge or has lost a challenge under the means test.
