Scottish Question

in Bankruptcy & living with it
and please don't take it as a criticism - I'm just wonder about the possibility of a Scottish B/R Help sub board thingie?

I find the help and advice here invaluable, but I'm always left wondering if it applies to me as I live in Scotland and our B/R rules are different from England and Wales (not sure about Ireland).

Would it be worth while or are us Scots too backward about coming forward for advice?

We could have a McMSE :cool:

    Good idea - it's a struggle trawling through everything on here to find posts regarding Scottish BR (having said that, I found many of the English posts extremely helpful too)

    Its is a fab site, thats why I don't want anyone to think I'm knocking it - I just think it would be a tremendous help to have a Scottish B/R section, as our system is that bit different from the English one.

    There must be folk on here who have been through the Scottish system - if my DH goes ahead with his B/R I'd be happy to post up pur experiences.

    Assuming ofcourse we can still afford the internet by the end of it!!

    Hi,

    Fab idea! We are in the process of becoming BR and whilst this board helped us make our decision and has been a great help-I do wonder if some of the posts apply to us! I'd be happy to post any findings on our BR journey :-)

    Here's to McMSE:beer:

    Well da Big Boss he say............. Nah.

    But suggested that we theme a thread "Scottish...." when it involves a Scottish situation.

    I'd so like to hear other peoples experiences with the Scottish system as I think thats where we're headed.
