Contemplating options including bankruptcy

Hi Guys.

I am contemplating various options including Bankruptcy.

However my case would be quite complex.
2. issues being:
1. My current car which is registered to me, was purchased of a friend, whom i still owe money to. It is valued at over 3000. could this go?
2. My sister had gotten divorced, soon after she purchased a property to let out. However she didnt want the ex husband to know so she asked if i could purchase it on my name. At the time my financial position was stable, however things are coming to head. She transfered £50,000 for me to make a cash purchase however Natweast bank had an issue with such large sums of money being deposited to my account (£5k installments) over about 15 working days. They said they would have to report me for financial irregularity and money laundering, the only way to get out of this was a mortgage, like an idiot i did just that.

ANyways, 4 years on i also have my own property on my own name. I have £20,000 worth of equity in it (which was created by raising a deposit of the sisters property, to initially buy my own property). Essentially it works out to a 100% mortgage.

So as you can see the things will get complex. Does anyone know a solicitor or a organisation help me come to a decision on what to do?
