    I agree that there is no need to pay for bankruptcy advice. I got all the information that I needed on here and also made 2 calls, one to CCCS and the other to Business Debtline. I also have a mortgaged house and that wasn't taken from me - 19 months from my bankruptcy date and I still live here and am just about to buy the beneficial interest in it, then there will be no way the OR can take it from me.

    I agree...i'm in CAB training as well at the moment

    Wow, thats great news Phil, lucky CAB.:T

    I've 'spoke' to 3 other well known members on here who are thinking of volunteering ( and poss paid employment afterwards, 70% of paid staff were previous volunteers, as I was)

    Hope they all join too, they will certainly be a good catch.:j

    Excellent.
