    If you signed the contact before the bankruptcy then any charges that come from breaking the contract will be included in the bankruptcy
    Hi, im Debtinfo, i am an ex insolvency examiner and over the years have personally dealt with thousands of bankruptcy cases.
    Please note that any views i put forth are not those of my former employer The Insolvency Service and do not constitute professional advice, you should always seek professional advice before entering insolvency proceedings.
  • oh i wish i had thought to include it in at the time :( my bankruptcy all gone through now was 27th oct!
  • But if you joined the GYM before you went BR you can still cancel it and include the debt in your BR
  • ohhh i didnt realise that yeah i joined in july - do i just write to the gym then to cancel it and explain in br?sorry to sound thick lol i thought i had this br thing down to a t now :)
  • i might give or a call first then and see what they say :) soundin positive though
    thanks guys

    Hi, i was told the OR would not allow a gym membership at all so tell them that, has your OR not mentioned it?

  • Hi ickle

    I`d be surprised if any OR would allow £40 for gym membership in your SOA anyway...except on health grounds of course.
