Monday it is, little nervous

Hi All,

After years of money worries both my husband and I are going to petition for backruptcy on Monday.

We have the forms ready and will be paying the £1400 cash on Monday, however wanted to know will it happen on Monday or do we have to go back on appointment?, as we want it over and done with pretty quick as im 36 weeks pregnant.

Either way we are looking forward to a fresh start.

Thanks.

    Did you check whether your Court does a drop in service or appointments for BR petitions? Also that it's the right Court according to your home address?

  • its the correct court, one thing i didnt ask the, was it a drop in opppssss!!!!

    will give them a rin on Monday morning.

    Husband has just given the HP car back to the company a couple of weeks back and we saved up a little cash and father in law gave us some money to buy a cheap car, probs worth about £1000 if that.

    I do hope the OR doesnt want to take the car away from us?

    Thanks.

    Hi and welcome to the forum:) If it is a drop in service, and you get seen that day, then it will all be done and dusted on the day. Good luck and hope it goes well for you:)

    hi...now is the time to start preparing your arguments and evidence to support those argumentation, for the exemption of your car as an asset in either of your BR's...[only one can 'own' it, so evidence of ownership is useful.......also useful is to ensure whoever owns it can successfully argue for its exemption.]

    is a thread that should help you [both] in this respect.
    No, I don't think all other drivers are idiots......but some are determined to change my mind.......
  • thank you will start pulling together my reason for keeping the car, fingers crossed we do.

    THanks.

    Double, triple, quadrouple your forms. Mine very nearly didn't happen because the court clerk didn't like some of my date entries concerning the inception of the debts (very complicated once you have balance transfers etc involved).
