    A sign in front of you in big bold letters - Dont Waffle :D

    Thou shalt not fill the silent pauses with waffle (the OR will be writing during these pauses). Have everything you need at hand. Stay calm. Good luck.

  • Don't worry to much about it.I was nervous when i had my phone interview.They will ask questions like, when did you feel your debts began spiraling out of contol? What were loans credit cards etc used for? Make sure you have a good answer for your debts.
    I've just had a call that they are taking my car away and it's only worth £200:mad:
  • Thanks Britonfan, really helpful and sorry about your car - thats not good x

  • My case was done In Brighton but i also live in West sussex.The best advice is, speaking to people you actually know who will give you valuable tips about going bankrupt.The benefits can be rewarding.It's the best thing i've done.Wiping out debts of over 25k is such a relief.Just wished i done things slightly different though.
  • I have my interview on wedsnesday too @ 11am.

    The majority of my stuff goes back to 2002/2003 & I cant remeber exactly what it was all for:confused:
