Submit BR forms online or paper form?

Hello! Getting closer to my BR day :j
Getting my forms sorted, but not sure I want to go using all my ink on photocopying the form I've completed, unless I want to sit there and write it all out again. Is the online version easy to use? Is it better to use the online form? I'm sure I've read somewhere it's less likely you'll have problems of filling it in wrong if you've done it online.

ALSO, (sorry MORE questions!) do I need to be looking at an online version of my credit report to ensure I include all bank accounts and debts? I have no idea regarding old accounts, I know there are a few knocking around. Obviously with all the DRO's, I'll never get a paper copy of my credit report in time. What would happen if I forget to include a debt or a bank account? I'm worried I'll get it all wrong!

Thanks xx

  • Hi Princess

    the good thing about doing the forms online is you can go back and amend anything youve completed. Go and take a look, you will see its all in sections so easy to say do a few sections then come back and do a bit more later etc...I found them good to do online, just remember you need to print 3 copies tho so lot of ink

    Check with the court what you need to take.

    I spoke with mine and they said one copy only, as they will copy it there. They double checked for me as i didn't believe them.

    I'm still taking 3, but worth asking
    I'm no expert, but i'll give you my opinion, my support and my experience. Its all i have.

    As suggested it is worth a check to see if you can get the extra copies done at the court, just beware of any charges, as some courts are quite expensive to get the copies done. It doesn`t matter if you forget any of your creditors as all your debts will be included in your BR.

    Dojoman is right, luckily we took our 3 copies with us but we too were told that one would be ok. When we got to court we were told that to do the 2 photocopies would have come to nearly £50!!.

    That would have been a crisis!
