Bankruptcy Questions

GameOver_2

Hi

Just a few questions for you guys in know, sorry but theres still bankruptcy questions my partner wants to know.

1, Is it still 6 months to 1 year for simple cases?

2, Does she have to pay the 450 upfront?

3, Can she still go to uni to be a nurse if shes been bankrupt?

Thanks

1. depends what you mean by a 'simple ' bankruptcy. If the Official Receiver (OR) decides her case is suitable for Early Discharge then yes she may be discharged 6-9 months after the Bankruptcy ordert. But it will be on her credit file for 6 years.
2. she will have to pay the fee to the court yes, unless she is in receipt of income support or other benefits. I dont know the details, check the court service website https://www.courtservice.gov.uk or telephone the local county court with bankruptcy jurisdiction and ask the Bankruptcy Clerk
3. Being a nurse is no problem. I have dealt with student nurses who have gone bankruptcy and continueed qwith their studies.
any more questions private message me.

It's £460, up front, in cash. But £310 if she can get remission by being on income support or a very low wage.

Is she sure bankruptcy is the best option? Has she taken advice on this?

have you checked to ensure that bankruptcy will not affect the bursary nurses receive to study?

Although i have dealt with bankruptcy of a student nurse, she still got her bursary (otherwise she woudl not have continued) I agree best to check...
