How long from applying to paying the Fee!!!

Hi, Just wondering if anyone knew how long from applying online to go bankrupt would it take to actually having to pay the fees?
Thanks

You pay the fees when you go to court. So the date of your bankruptcy hearing is when you have to hand over that cold hard cash.

You pay the fee when you go to court, some courts you have to book an appointment, others have a drop in system. You would have to contact your local court to see what system they use.

Technically you dont apply online, but you can fill your forms in, bit by bit and you can save as you go, to actually apply for bankruptcy you need to speak to your local court

sorry i meant i was filling them in online. Getting a head start until i have the money to pay the fee. Does anyone know when you ring up to declare will they give you a date or does it just vary from court to court??

Thanks

Im afraid it varies from court to court, some have weeks long waiting lists, some you could turn up and do it tomorrow. The best thing to do is ring them tomorrow and find out the local system
