I was wondering what was the thing that stuck out in your mind from your experience in court on day of your bankruptcy?

Mine was everyone thinking i was a solicitor :rotfl: and there shocked faces when i said no im here to go bankrupt!

Maybe i should have not worn a suit that day :rolleyes:

Did make me chukkle though plus i ended up with the nice bankruptcy clerk

Aside from that was my magical numbers 449of2008 10.52 am

Mine was sitting there counting my bankruptcy petition money and realising I was £20 short!!!

Had to get my mum to drive 20 miles to get the extra cash to me!

To be told the judge was out of court today and would have to come back in three days time :eek: only to hear clippety clop from the clerk running after us down the street shouting "he's here, he's going to do it for you now!"

My memory is in the middle of our conversation the air conditioning unit in the judges room starting to pour water from it - and the judge improvising using a bin to collec the water.

I remember being the only quiet (read silent), sullen faced & miserable looking person of the bunch. The others petitioning for BR were chatting and laughing whilst we sat in the waiting room.

getting to the court on time and finding out all my evidence for a fee reduction was out of th 4 week time limit..:eek::eek: running (now im built for comfort not speed) down to where i thought the job center was and finding it wasnt and having 45 mins to get a letter from the JCP+ saying yes i was on benefits (only had the basic fees) - waiting and clock watching while the muppet with the long hair faffed til he did me a letter...then running again down to court through the doors..hopng the clerk would spot me..3 mins to go...2 mins to go..tic toc nearly 10 o'clock...and then she saw me and whoop got me forms done, fees paid - come back at 11...:p

For me it was sitting waiting for the counter clerk to come and process our BR forms and a guy walked in who had been evicted from his flat with no notice the night before by his landlord who had become violent towards him, had chucked him out, locked all his possessions in the flat including passport, wallet etc. He had no idea who to turn to or what to do, police had told him to go to the court. The clerks told him they couldnt do anything and he had to go to CAB.

I just felt so sorry for the guy he looked so desolate, it certainly took my mind off the BR !!!

Oh and the couple who were obviously at war with each other in the waiting room, not going BR but woman getting an injunction out on him!!
