    very rare a bankruptcy is declined the only chance is

    Your not insolvent (you have enough to cover your debt)
    You have not saught professional debt advice

    You really need to speak to someone about your situation....bankruptcy isnt' the quick fix some people think it is there are far more implications

    Hi there.

    philnicandamy are correct, it is very rare to be declined.

    If you are insolvent you can make yourself Bankrupt. It is something that shouldnt be taken lightly, but sometimes its the only option available.

    Have you spoken to a debt help charity ? Then at least everything should be clear in your own head.

    Good luck.

    Good luck, It seems to me that you know deep down what is best for you, your half way there already.

    Best wishes.

    Basically if your outgoings exceed your income, you are insolvent so you won't be declined.

    Just applied for a Co-Op Cash Minder account, the girl said that they needed a utility bill but it is very unlikely to not be accepted.

    So thats another obstacle put in it's place for when the time comes.

    P.S Is it normal to have a kinda crush on an irish girl you have never seen and only spoken to regarding a bank account? :o

    ALSO where can ifind the SoA online form thing so people on here can give me some pointers.
