    Hi all

    Well i've had my day in court and now officially a member of July Bankruptcy club.

    I arrived a court nice and early to be greeted by a lovely clerk who really put me at ease, my hands were shaking!

    Anyway she went through the forms and then passed then to the judge whilst I waited. The Judge thankfully didn't want to see me so it was back downstairs for brief phone call with OR.

    All they wanted to know was details of any assets I had and my bank accounts. I told the OR about the co-op account I had opened for after bankruptcy and hadn't used and she said she would contact the co--op to say she had no interest in it.

    I also asked the OR if my name would appear in the local rag and much to my absolute delight she confirmed it will only appear in the London Gazette :j

    On reflection I was I would have done this ages ago as I've such a feeling of relief and will sleep tonight for the first time in ages.

    The only bit I'm concerned about is the next stage, phone call from OR etc etc.

    I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone on the site who has supported me in the lead up to going BR:T

    Startingover
