Decision Time

I got the forms on the Friday and was in court the following Tuesday, I did put some hours in getting them finished in time. I would give the court a call and book it in (some operate a just turn up on the day system), maybe go two months time, you can change the date if you find the fees arn't quite there yet. Least then you've got a date your aiming for.

OK Guys thanks for the advice. Just printed the forms! Now all I need is the courage to give the court a call and book a date. I'm aiming for early Jan, maybe a bit earlier if I can juggle some funds together and get everything in order

Craig, honestly it's as easy as booking your tyres in to be changed, was going to say hairdressers but thought I should at least man up the imagery abit.

someone I spoke to a while ago compared it to a queue at the post office....

my only regret was....paying for several hours parking...and being out in under an hour!

Having thoroughly adopted the BR ethos at that point....I nearly cried!

:rotfl::rotfl:had to laugh at this Alistair, we did the same!

Paid for 6-8 hours on the ticket and was out in 2, and like you all I could think about was the waste of money

Good luck with it all Craig

I meant the phone call to book the date not the actually court day, just realised that sounded strange.

Everyone gets nervous about the court day, I felt really embarrased filing for BR whilst pregnant, I am having twins so I looked like I was nearly full term at 26 weeks, they got me a chair out and everything. They were very professional and kind to me. Although they probably wanted to avoid me giving birth and wrecking the carpet

Im gonna have a chat with the missus now to put her mind at rest. Tempted to show her this thread

good luck craig:)

i did the deed in september. i was terrified that i would mess the forms up but the lovely people on here helped me with filling them in quite easily (with a few migraines).

i couldn't wait so i paid no creditors for a month, wiped out my overdrafts and used that to pay the fees:o i did send all credit cards a token payment of £1 and a letter saying that my circumstances had changed and that i was paying them what i could afford. probably pointless but it made me feel 'better':o
