  • Hi Marmalady,

    Not sure if different in NI but we werent told about receiving any pack. CAB told us OR would contact us and not to worry that nearly 2 wks had gone by. If speed of other things over here anything to go by, we shouldnt be worried.

    hi everyone,

    I finally made myself bankrupt yesterday, after a couple of years debating about it I finally did it. Im so glad I did as someone said earlier I already no dreading answering the phone !!

    I just wanted to thank everyone for all their help on this site, I wouldn't have been able to do it without you all. Even today Ive had help setting up a new account etc.

    Anyway just wanted to say hi

    :beer:

    Hi Kentmumof1 and well done on completing the BR. Although we live in NI now, we hail from Kent so glad to hear from a fellow Kentish person.

    Hope the setting up of the account went okay. Dont know which one you went for but we went for Co-op and I have to say, they have been marvellous and their customer service far outways any that I have come across.

    Welcome to the October club.

    Lisa :T

    Gotta love that junk mail. I went BR last Weds and started to get junk mail through by the Friday. I haven't recieved anything yet from the OR's office, just got a call a few hours after the hearing from them to confirm that the forms were accurate and if there was anything urgent neede dealing with. They also told me that I should hear from them within 1-2 weeks about the interview, they didn't mention anything about an information pack.

  • Welcome Cloverfan. Wow sounds like you have your hands full. Not sure when Don79 sets up November club. Assume you are planning or have date for that month.

    Good luck with the planning and hope it goes well, incase I forget to mention it nearer the time. lisa x
  • DRO went through yesterday, I'm now on THE LIST! ;)

    The relief is immense, although it does feel a bit of an anti climax in some respects, not entirely sure why? :confused:Baked a frozen pizza to celebrate! Oh, the extravagance! :o

    Hi Crowman, I went BR monday my name went on the register yesterday and recieved junk mail already from companies offering post BR services!! I was told I would recieve the paper work in 1-2 weeks then telephone interview some time after as paper work needs to go in first. Have you recieved your pack yet? Im still waiting for co-op to send me a card bit worried i wont be able to change salary details in time!
