    Hello and Welcome to the Bankruptcy Board.

    If you are new or old to this board and receive a comment that is not helpful or insensitive please don’t be put off. Many of the posters on here have been through bankruptcy. They will be able to help, advise and also offer you support. We do have poster's who have/do work for the OR and Debt charities too.

  • Afternoon everyone

    Can you please help keep this as a welcome thread for newbies, and not a chat thread.

    Thanks!

    The Bankruptcy Board is about people who've gone Bankrupt (BR for short) helping out people who are thinking of doing it but don't know where to start and need guidance.

    Many of the people who post on here already have a huge wealth of knowledge on the subject and are only too willing to help guide you along based on their own experiences.

    If you feel you can do with their help please do start your own discussion/post your question on the board, then post your link to it in here so regulars reading this who may not have spotted it know you're asking for help.

    As happens on many forums and social networking sites, you may sometimes see a post that doesn't seem in keeping with the friendly forum we try to make this. Sometimes it's just someone having an off day, sometimes it's what's called trolling.

    If you do see a post you feel the Forum Team should be aware of, just report it by clicking the abuse button, then ignore it. Don't reply back as that gives the Forum Team more work and delays any action while they work out what's going on.

    Now I'll let the good people of the bankruptcy board take over.

    Good luck and take care

    Andrea :)

    If your searching for help during the night because you can't sleep due to your debt, and are considering Bankruptcy, IVA or DRO, then ask your questions here and the good folk will be along to advise you very soon
