    Dear ifwisheswerehorses,
    Thank you very much for that list of abbreviations. Very helpful.

    There's no little 'Thanks' button for me to click at the bottom of your post.

    That list has prompted a question, I actually got sent and signed up that N2B2 form..........does that mean that I won't get any IPA?

    My SOA showed a deficit, but so far no questions on the amounts I showed or the item of expenditure.
    Just looking for belt and braces on the likelihood of none

    Hi MS, I think after a year the thanks button does disappear, so no worries.

    I've edited the explanation of the N2B2 form as it was misleading, I am sorry.

    I'm unsure if you will get a IPA, I'll have my fingers crossed for you :beer:

    Best wishes

    I have to say it always makes me stop and think 'Eh?' when I see BR as an abbreviation for Bankruptcy, I have worked for an IP for over 10 years and we always abbreviate to BKY (for Bankruptcy) or BKT (for Bankrupt) as does the leading IP software and correspondence from the Insolvency Service.

    I don't know why just BR tbh Tinks. When I joined I just followed what others did on here :beer:

    Hi folks

    Just glanced at this - could we get LILA (as in Low Income Low Asset bankruptcy in Scotland) added to the list?

    Many thanks
