    i've already stated that no i wouldn't.

    my personal preference would be for a massive clampdown on lending - i'd like to see very little lending or debt allowed. then people wouldn't need to go down the bankruptcy route at all. it's still far too easy to get credit cards and loans.

    Sorry I didn't read the entire thread and missed your comment

    Amiga.....most so called "experts" who pop in here think all bankrupts are the lowest of the low anyhow..we should be exiled from the country..we're a waste on the country resources etc etc

    That is the general impression I get yes :)

    im so glad you got to keep your car, well done!!!

    as for the other "quotes" from poster ninky - i cant think for the foggiest what you have to be lucky about. Bankruptcy isnt nice, i know from personal expereince.

    Maybe some missguided info from your other half, after all hes not all coshure is he if he had to arrive here under a lorry. Maybe of you werent so misguided in your own beleifs you could understand that someone who has encountered bankrupty should be given help and understanding not hung drawn and quartered.

    where did i say bankrupts should be hung drawn and quartered? or that it was always easy? i know the stress debt can cause and have experience of it. i find the need to drag out my previous posts and constantly harp on about my OH's immigrant background a little bit dubious. the judgement you claim i've made about bankrupts (i'd like to see the evidence) could equally be levelled at those who judge immigrants.

    no bankruptcy itself is not life threatening. bankruptcy is a remedy for debt (which may have some unpleasant side effects but i would question that any of them are life threatening).

    is this forum only for bankrupts then?

    it was you tht mentionded about being in some countrys it was a prison offence to be in debt.

    Being in debt and being bankrupt are 2 completely different things. Oweing a bit and managing to tread water robbing peter to pay paul is one thing. To be in a state where your unable to make minimum payment or the interst is more than your paying is another, bankruptcy is a last and final option and one that is not done lightly. The final answer in many peoples cases.

    yes i have experienced this too (at least through a partner). as for who this board is for. i thought it was for anyone who is interested in bankruptcy. which i am. a friend in need let's say.
