No worries, if you do one with your current situation and say how much youmight be able to earn in the future I am sure someone will tell you what sort of IPA you may be paying.
BTW if you get a job and need a car then make sure your GF buys it for you and get's the reciept in her name as the OR will wonder where you found the money fromHi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

I am currently awaiting my Experian credit file which may reveal additional debts (the information above is based on an equifax credit file). I suspect that Experian have more debts on file but im uncertain.
Im hoping get my Experian file through by tomorrow so I can cross reference the debts through both credit agencies so I dont miss anything out when I declare BR.
If I was to gain employment as an Electrician then the benefits section would be zero and my income would be (flat rate) £1350 per month.
As I said at the top, any comments are welcome.

Just a few thoughts....dont worry about missing a creditor though thats the reasons for posting your bankruptcy in the london gazette to give anyone a chance to claim on your estatesWe all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will0 -
