Face-To-Face Interview On Wednesday - WISH ME LUCK!

I think the thread title says it all, so no need for me to waffle!

My prediction - a two-to-three-year BRU. I'll keep you posted!

    Good luck - some people reckon a face to face is better than a phone call - I will have one or the other coming up soon so cant speak from experience. Hope all goes miles better than you expect:)

  • Thanks to both of you for the good wishes.

    I've already had the 'phone interview in September. This one now is to see whether I get a BRU/BRO. I will. I took out a loan shortly before the bankruptcy and blew the lot. I would feel guilty but it was from the notorious Welcome Finance, with their dubious methods and extremely competitive 69.9% interest rate, so there's a wicked part of me which feels proud to have stitched them up!

    Not looking forward to the 3-hour grilling, though!

    Ooops! Good luck SG. What are you going to tell them you took the loan out for?

    Good Luck SG ... set yourself the target of beating the 3 hrs and hopefully it will be an awful lot quicker than that.

    Best wishes

    Hi Sunshine Gal.

    I would of prefered a face to face interview, I feel you can explain things in a better way.

    My interview over the phone took 1 & half hours, I was just honest with the OR & explained my situation the best I could. The OR was really nice and understanding, & let me tell you my affairs were in a complete mess.

    Try to have everything organised in your head & dont worry too much, I did & it was all for nothing. They just want to try to understand your own personal circumstances.

    My personal opinion is that the OR`s just want to see if you blew in something like a £10k cruise prior to your Bankruptcy.

    Best Wishes.

    Rictina.

    Hi there. I was absolutely dreading my F2F, it was 7 months after I went BR, and after the initial 10 mins when I had got myself into a real state....it went fine. After it was all over, I wished I had had a F2F a lot earlier, instead of all the letters and phone calls as I felt it much easier to explain everything in person. Good luck, I am sure you will be fine. I thought I was getting a BRU but I didn't.

    Good luck for Wednesday. Stay strong, and remember, people can only intimidate you if you let them. You're on the home straight :)
