    First Post Combo Breaker
    Hi acko83 and Welcome to the Bankruptcy (BR) Board. Well done on getting help for your addiction and its your unlikely you will get charged for fraud. First step is to make a list of all your creditors, debts and assets. Secondly and most important is contact one of the following debt charities. Please try these they don't charge and are impartial. They will go through all your options with you and if they suggest bankruptcy then come back to this board and we will help you all we can. Also if your not ‘clicking’ with one of the Debt charities do try another. We advise you to try at least two for your own piece of mind. Your BR could be refused if you have not sought advice.

    Also please contact Gamcare 0845 6000 133 Website:- https://www.gamcare.org.uk as getting help will be looked on favourable with the OR.

    Amigas thread may help you too.
