What to do if I’m 32 and I have several delinquent collection accounts?
Some from years ago, when I just didn’t care and a lot of medical bills. I am now disabled and living on SSDI and would like to know what form of bankrupcy I should file? And if there is a form or a process to qualify for a bankrupcy fee waiver? There is no way that I can pay all of these to better my credit. Unfortunately, I wasn’t thinking clearly at the time and obviously unaware of what would happen with my health and am now panicked.

Given what you have written about the debt that you simply cannot pay off you need to consult with a reputable bankruptcy attorney as to whether or not you are a bankruptcy candidate. In federal bankruptcy court there is no such thing as a fee waiver for a bankruptcy filing.
