Went BR Today

Hi Everyone,
Went BR today with my OH. My OH was not very comfortable what was about to happen to us, in regards of seeing a judge and being questioned etc.
As it happend we arrived at the county court at 9am sharp, we then presented our forms and signed them ( after paying £990 ) we were then told to take the forms to an usher of the court who would then present them to the judge. The judge did not want to see us and we were declared BR at 9.55. The last stage of the proceedings was to talk very briefly to an OR for some very basic questions. We were then told good luck to go home and the OR will be in touch soon. We were out of the court by 10.30 and went for a full english breakfeast as a little bit of a celebration.
The whole affair was quite easy, so anyone reading this please take note that it is not as daunting as you may think.
We are now going to wait for the OR to get in touch and arrange some form of interview but the best thing is, we have actually started the ball rolling.

Thanks for sharing - I am thinking of putting a petition in soon but very worried and anxious about the whole thing. This forum gives me some comfort and mental support since the last few days. Good Luck on your new debt free life.0
