BR fees - JSA (contribution based)

gettingready

Sorry, bit confused here perhaps someone can help?

I am currently on contribution based JSA (since 1st December) - looking at the BR info it lists income based JSA as a reson for some of the fees being reduced (waived?) - what about contribution based JSA?

How much would I have to pay to put in a BR application please?

Thanks a lot

Bankruptcy fees consist of a £140 court fee and a £250 deposit to help meet the Official Receiver's costs. The deposit will rise to £310 in April when new rules come in to make it quicker to discharge bankrupts

So the total is now 310 + 140 = 450?
And possibly expempt from the 140 so £310?

Is the above correct?

or is the below correct?

The court will not consider your bankruptcy petition if you can’t pay the bankruptcy fees. These fees are:

• £450 to cover the cost of managing your bankruptcy
• £150 to cover your court costs, you may not have to pay this fee if you are on income support - court staff can advise you

Hi GR, It costs £625, £450 to go BR and £175 court costs.
Contribution based JSA is not included but low income is so worth looking into, see below:-

Court fee remission and forms.

• HMCS - Court fees do you have to pay them? (And guidance on completing the fee remission form). (pdf)
• HMCS - Form EX160 - Application for a fee remission (pdf)
• Example application for a fee remission based on gross annual income - EX160 (Thanks to NE Derbyshire CAB)
• Example application for a fee remission based on permitted benefits - EX160 (Thanks to NE Derbyshire CAB)
• Possible assistance with Bankruptcy costs / fees (Thanks to NE Derbyshire CAB)

If contributions based JSA is your ONLY income then you will not have to pay the £175 court fee.

You would get full remission under concession 2. You would need to provide the neccessary proof of income as per ex160 guidance.

I know £450 is isn't it. There are a number of charities that may help with bankruptcy costs and fees depending on eligibility. Please remember you need to go through the Debt charity who is helping you and allow at least three/four months (although this can be sometimes shorter) to get the ball rolling too.

That's very confusing. Firstly you have hijacked someone else's thread about the cost of going bankrupt, is your post anything to do with that?

is your post anything to do with bankruptcy or about the likelihood of a water company trust fund paying of your arrears?
