going broke

Hi people

Not sure if anyone can help but will ask anyway.

In Oct 06 i started a DMP with CCCS and am still paying into this, however, i now live in OZ, and have just got a job doing what i have wanted to do for the last ten years, which is great apart from the money as I will be starting on a traineeship and will be earning min wage. This will mean my earnings more than half and I will not be able to afford the amount I currently pay for the next 3 years.

Does anyone know if I will b able to bnkrupt from outside the UK or do I have to be back in the UK to file for B/R?

Thanks in advance

    I take it all your debts are back here in the UK?

    You will have to either come back to the UK to file for bankruptcy at the High Court in London, or appoint someone power of attorney to appear on your behalf. You will then have to make yourself available for an interview with the official receiver by phone.

    How much do you owe and to whom? ie consumer debt/mortgage etc and do you plan on coming back to the UK to live?
