CCJ's/Bankruptcy

I've just started a DMP through Payplan but may have to go BR as my circumstances may be changing.

If I do, I will need to save up the BR fees. So if I stop paying my DMP, and my creditors issue CCJ's against me, can I still go BR at that point?

How soon can creditors issue CCJ's, and if I have one pending, or a court date set, can I still go BR?

I'm hoping I can hold them off until I can save the fees up.

Many thanks

Current estimated DFD 01/11/2019
But I will get it over with sooner!!

    Reasonably quickly.

    Most of the time it takes a looooooong while.

    Creditors are more likely to just sell the debt on rather than going for a CCJ.

    You can still go BR at any point.

    Usually not a problem.
