If you have money to pay creditors you can't file bankruptcy anyway! The whole idea of going bankrupt is that you have no money. You can either do it yourself or let one of your creditors do it for you. If there is some sort of fee for declaring yourself bankrupt I would wait for your creditors to do it for you then you are not getting yourself even more in debt.

You can file a form (motion) to defer payment of the court cost. Also if you qualify, the court can waive the cost. That doesn't happen very often.
If you have an attorney, he or she can help with that. Since your question is about not paying the court costs I assume you don't have an attorney. Most bankruptcy forms are available on line and for free. They are in PDF format and are fillable. The form you need should be with them.

I filed bankruptcy in 2002 in Indiana. Laws may vary from state to state.
I didnt need any money to file. I filed emergency bankruptcy because my car got repossesed. I filed Chapter 13 (where u pay a percentage of it back). Got my car back the same day that I filed. We did have to go to bankruptcy court & the next pay check that I had, I started making my payments then.
Also, I did all of mine thru an attorney...I had mine paid off in less that 4 years. Attorneys fees & Trustee fees & all that good stuff is included in the amount of your bankruptcy.
You can file Chapter 7, where all debt is wiped out, you dont have to pay anything back & it completely wipes out your credit...this is usually the kind you have to pay for when you file. Chapter 13 you pay a portion of your debt back & it really doesnt hurt your credit, it can actually improve it.

The laws all changed in 2005.
And in Michigan, you have always had to come up with a filing fee to file.
Take a second (or third or fouth) job, sell your belongings and pay your debt, or pay your fee.

Some attorneys actually allow you to make installment payments.
