Deep in debt, job seeking...
How do i become bankraupt, where do i begin?
Is it just a case of ringing the county court to begin?

Anyone with experience please advise the process

Hey mellow & welcome to the madhouse!!

fair bit of a read here for you

then its a case of ring the courts for forms...BUT you need to speak to one of the debt advice peeps mentioned in the link above, the court will ask if you've had any professional advice

That's really sound advice.:T

Just out of interest really but I wasn't asked if I had taken advice (I had through CCCS although they didn't propose BR at this point)

I was just wondering if it's a kind of best practice thing that they should do?

Anyhow, good luck MELLOWARMY

Some do some dont...some may not even see a judge...its JUST incase they do ask otherwise they could refuse the petition if they think its right

Thanks philnicandamy. You're right, I didn't see a judge. I actually wish I had taken more advice; BR is the right choice for me but it might have helped me worry less. The boards were an enormous help though!!! :j
