  • Hi all, I'm new.
    I have my court date on 21 March:eek:

    I have a basic bank acct already with hsbc, has anyone found that hsbc will let the acct stay open or should I go to another bank before court? Any tips on which banks will let me open an acct as a bankrupt.

    Also I have utility bills in my name and I pay rent.

    Will the OR tell my landlord, I dont them to as they are not great landlords and I'm worried they will terminate my tenancy. With the utility bills what have you done about paying them with no bank account?

    Any info on anything I should do before the court date would so appreciated.

    Many Thanks

    Welcome to the Bankruptcy Board.

    Hello and Welcome, 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.

    Written by Fermi our board guide:-
    Many people find that debt and bankruptcy is the cause or result of a period of great distress and anxiety in their lives. For some this can reach a stage where it is difficult to cope. So I would remind you that The Samaritans are available to help you through your troubles if the emotional side threatens to become overwhelming.
