Redundant & Bankrupt!

Hey All,

I was made redundant nearly two years ago, and have since been discharged automatically. I still carry on to pay the monthly payments. I am to be made redundant in 4 weeks, and receive £850. Is this money mine to live on? Or do i surrender this or part of?

Personally speaking, i try to have minimal contact with the court since its happened, as i find it very convienient to pay once a month and nothing more is said.

Anyone been in a similar situation?

    Hiya, I don't think they can take it all, I think it's the element in lieu of notice they can't take and maybe holiday pay owed, but not 100% sure.

    The only problem is you will have to tell them about your redundance so the IPA can stop so they may ask whether you received any redundancy.

  • Sorry, that should have read, 'I was made bankrupt nearly 2 years ago...'

    But i think you got what i meant :) Thanks for the reply, i just didn't think it fair for them to take what i might well have to live on!
