Help with fees

Bankrupt_Bob

I'm currently self employed with a very low income, claiming housing benefit.
I'm struggling to get the court fee together to go bankrupt and wondered if there was any sort of help out there?
I know there's a chance of £150 odd being waved due to my low income but I really need help with the rest as I can't do anything till I've got the cash together which is almost impossible.
Anyone offer any solutions?

There are a number of charities that may help with bankruptcy costs and fees depending on eligibility (examples below). BUT the increase in people filing for bankruptcy some trusts are now refusing to pay..be worth a try though, other than that have you a credit card? overdraft?

• Severn Trent Trust Fund and other water trusts
• EDF Energy Trust
• Royal British Legion
• Some Trade Unions
  • Trades Union Congress
  • Union Finder from Worksmart
• Turn2Us enables you to search for charities

Please note you will usually need the assistance of a recognised Debt and Money Advice Worker in completing applications relating to the above.

You could also try The Association Of Charity Officers on 01707 651777. They are a signposting charity who could forward you on to a charity or a union that could help you.
