Bankruptcy fees on Benefits

catastrophe10

Hi there,

I have seen that the court fees on £150 are sometimes waived for those on benefits, how common is this?

Thanks

I think you can get £160.00 off if you get the form from the court and fill it in within a month of BR some one with more brains will come along and help i hope.

It depends what benefits you are on.

They are not "sometimes" waived for those on benefits - they ARE waived for those on certain means-tested benefits. But it needs to be claimed; forms filled with appropriate proof supplied, and not all courts would tell you or ask you if you are eligible (as with all things you are able to claim, its a case of finding out for yourself!)
