    Make sure you take a reading of your electric/Gas the day you go bankrupt...contact your supplier you have the debt with tell them what your doing they should then write the £700 debt off in bankruptcy then open a new account with a fresh start...sometimes though some providers *not all* may insist on using a pay as you go system for future supplys

    Glad its over for you, well done :)

    Must have been doubly hard going through with it in such sad circumstances too. Try not to worry too much (easier said than done!) over the OR interview. Its never as bad as people imagine and I have lost count of the number of posts where people update, wondering why they got in a state over it all! You really will be fine.

    Wishing you all the best for the future and rebuilding your life x
