:DHi everyone, welcome to the November 2009 :D
:D Bankruptcy & Debt Relief Order Club. :D



This club is for everyone who has gone through the process of Bankruptcy/Debt Relief Order during November 2009. So please feel free to join and post.


Pop your name on here, the date that you went/are going Bankrupt/DRO and the stage that you are at in your Bankruptcy. And then just keep everyone in the club updated throughout the next year about your journey through Bankruptcy. That way we can all stick together and compare notes and we will be there to support each other throughout the different stages in our Bankruptcy/DRO.

Remember this is your board so keep posting.

Obviously anyone can come on here and post anything that will help us all and you are all welcome. Any important questions that do need answering are maybe still better posted on the main board but if you do put it on here, then maybe we can help each other.

Hopefully it will be an extra place for friendship and support as we compare notes and discuss what is happening with our Bankruptcies & DRO's.

    Thanks for the welcome Phil, and you are right I am imagining all sorts of bad things that are going to happen to us when we have our hearing. This site has been brilliant, and we have been reading loads of threads and realising that we are not alone in our predicament.

    sadly the OR's office has now done away with the stocks/thumb screw combo..not sure though if they still use the "hang you up by your ankles" approach...although I quite enjoyed myself on that one :rotfl::rotfl:

    glad to hear the site helped I realised the same nearly 3yrs ago read read and then read some more!..one way or another we've all been through the rollercoaster ride thats known as bankruptcy so the feelings your having at the min are perfectly normal...if anything the day in court was a little let down for me I came out thinging "hmm that it?" after i'd worried myself sick.

    Good luck with it all & keep us posted :D

  • Its not an excuse but the majority of my debt problems are down to my weakness where by it was easier to give to my ex than to say no, he used to take our money as soon as it went into the bank(sometimes b4!). The rages,moods and occassional push/shove/things thrown at me etc... made me give in for the sake of the kids and i am terrified the judge and OR will be like "well why didnt u leave him b4?" and what did u spend this on??? etc....you should have left b4 so its our own fault your in this mess and not grant BR.....
    Everyone on here is very helpful but its still really scary!!!!!

    It can be a very scary place to be where you are now cf...BUT rest assured we've all been there one way or another although one things for certain it WILL get better and life will improve for you in many ways...you'll look back at this in a while & wonder what the fuss was about

    I suppose one of the reasons I stay around is the fact I see people posting for the first time scared/confused and watch as the posts get more and more confident as time goes on.

    wouldnt worry about the OR's examiner....they do the same job day in day out and have probably seen far far far worse than your case..
