Whoop! Discharged today!

I haven't been on the forum for 6 months, but today I get AD!
Now to dig through the credit clean-up posts.

Another big thank you to all the regulars who post on here, as I wouldn't have got through bankruptcy without their posts.

    Hi ensenar and Congratulations from me too :beer:

    If you can print off several copies from the insolvency service site, this will help with credit file clean up later.

    Search Insolvency Register - Click here

    Don't forget to click on your surname to bring up full details. Most creditors will accept this. Bear in mind your name will stay online for 3 months after your AD date and then disappear. You can contact your OR and ask for confirmation in writing some will do this for free, but some are charging £25 now or you can pay £70 for the official certificate of discharge from the court where you went BR (in some cases depending if you are on benefits/low income you can have this for free as well).

    Wait for 2 or three months than begin your credit file clean up. Then you'll need to get all three credit files and make sure that:

    - The default date is on or before your BR date.
    - The current balance is marked as settled/satisfied in some way.

    Click on blue links below:-

    Experian - Click here

    Equifax - Click here

    Callcredit - Click here
    NB: You can't order it online, they would rather you pay £12 don’t do that just print off the application form, P.O. for £2 and post this recorded delivery.


    They are £2 each for paper copies. Some people have used the online one's and have said the information was very poor compared to the paper copies.

    Essential reading Fermi’s thread:-
