    Well, I went BR at 2.58.
    The clerk looked thru the papers while I waited and told me to wait in the waiting room until he came back. 15 minutes later, he took me in to see the Judge. I wouldn't say it was a pleasant experience, 'I'm not here to judge' he exlaimed, but he's a Judge; well, you know what I mean. Did I realise the implications etc ? .. yes and I took advice off CCCS .. 'that was the next question I was going to ask', he replied with that 'headmaster face'.
    He then explained that the nearest OR was 150 miles away and would have to be in touch by phone and to wait in the waiting room while the Clerk got in touch.
    Waited an hour then the Clerk took me into an office to speak on the phone to a women who was as nice as anything and said I could keep a Bank account which was a huge relief and gave her the details and they will send a 'Bankruptcy Pack' with forms I have to fill in and return and arrange a telephone interview. Then I was issued with the Certificate and left. Don't feel debt free, feel numb. Afterwards, wandered around the supermarket in a daze. Anyway, that's that over with.
    Thanks to everybody for their help and support, it is most appreciated and apologies if this post is a bit long winded but I needed to get it out of my system if you know what I mean.
    Think I'll stay around here for a wee while and see if I can help other people here.
  • well done auldblerk

    Yes, I can answer the phone(s) now and maybe get a good nights sleep for a change (been up since 4 am). I suppose it's one of those life experiences some of us end up going thru ?!
