Confused on payment for BR

decoratingbutterfly

Hi all

I am due to ring my local county court tomorrow as I have just filed my br form online.
I'm confused as to weather I need to make a payment for declaring myself bankrupt.
I am employed part time, I have Child tax credit and my partner has working tax credit.
Can anyone help please?
Many thanks

The fee is £510. If you have a low income then you may be entitled to a remission of £150.

Bear with me and I'll ge ta link. Here we go, this is from the Bankruptcy Help sticky, which you should read. There is also some suggestions for help with the rest of the fees on the bottom link.

Court fee remission and forms.

• HMCS - Form EX160 - Application for a fee remission (pdf)
• Example application for a fee remission based on gross annual income - EX160 (Thanks to NE Derbyshire CAB)
• Example application for a fee remission based on permitted benefits - EX160 (Thanks to NE Derbyshire CAB)

Thank you all....again.
I phoned CC today and have an appointment made for next friday, there was a cancellation so they booked me in.
They said for me to bring bank statements, pay slips etc and they would work out weather I needed to pay £360(reduced cost) or £510(normal price) I think I'm probably a low earner so will be the reduced price?? Im going to have to scrape about to gather the money, not to sure if Im going to be able to, its so hard to think you need to so much money to go bankrupt!
Thank you again
