    Hi everyone, welcome to the February 2011
    Bankruptcy Club.

    This club is for everyone who has gone through the process of Bankruptcy during February 2011. So please feel free to join and post.

    Pop your name on here, the date that you went Bankrupt and the stage that you are at now in your Bankruptcy. And then just keep everyone in the club updated throughout the next year about your journey through Bankruptcy. That way we can all stick together and compare notes and we will be there to support each other throughout the different stages in our Bankruptcy.

    Remember this is your board so keep posting.

    Obviously anyone can come on here and post anything that will help us all and you are all welcome. Any important questions that do need answering are maybe still better posted on the main board but if you do put it on here, then maybe we can help each other.

    Hopefully it will be an extra place for friendship and support as we compare notes and discuss what is happening with our Bankruptcies.

    Please leave a post when you have been declared BR, and I will update the list.

    *PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE TOO MUCH INFO, THE IS ARE KNOWN TO FREQUENT THIS SITE AND TOO MUCH INFO MAY MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY INDIVIDUAL CASES, SO KEEP INFO TO A MINIMUM, ie USERNAME AND DATE ONLY."

    Hi whitty1 and welcome to the Feb BR Club, Dojoman will add you to the list. The OR should look kindly on you as you are receving help and won't judge you. You may be given a BRO, but no need to panic.....see below:-

    Bankruptcy Restriction Undertakings / Orders.
    Also Amiga's thread will help too:-

    Thanks so much IF. Just read through Amiga's thread and felt for him so much, a gambling addiction is a horrible illness to have.

    I am pretty scared of getting a BRO but what will be will be. I am hoping the OR will see that until my redundancy I was making payments and had every intention of paying off all my debts. I've also haven't gambled for 16 months and am the treasurer at my GA meetings.

    to be honest i just want some peace from the debts though

    I know it's such a powerful thread to read, but as you saw at the end of Amiga's thread a BRO is not something to be scared of. You will feel such relief and peace after your BR, so deep breath's and you be fine x
