We have been trying to understand what this is and what these forms are and if they may suitable for us to apply for remission?
We have a negative disposable income if we were to put down the full truth but with cut backs I think it will be about £30 - £50 (we haven't yet secured rental but this will be the deciding factor on how much if any disposable income there is!
I think we're low income, hubby earns £1037 after tax and we receive tax credits and child benefit for two children.
We applied to a charity who have agreed to pay £1000 towards court fees :j
leaving us with £175 each to pay (we are a married couple wishing to go bankrupt together!)
Does anyone know if we will be entitled for any fee remission???

I have read through all of these but I still do not know if any can apply to us. ;0(
We get child tax credit but not working tax, child benifit and my my HB earns £1100 approx and I do not work due to my eldest of two have ASD which she has only just been diagnosed with recently.
We have pretty much no money left at the end of the month on paper and in practise and my 5 year old daughter will be entitled to DLA but until her application is process I do not know what rate. Does any of this sound eligable?
Is there anywhere I can find the recommened income and expenditures that are accepted for househod income? when appling for Remission please?0 -
opps sorry I forgot to say The National DebtLine put us in touch with Turn to us and then they put us in touch with EEIBA who will fund £1000.
No one is helping us while we apply for Bankruptcy. Is that kind of help available??? I have been heavily relying on this site. The people on here are absolutly amazing and so inspiring and genuinly helpful ;0)0 -
How many children have you got?
There is a table on page 9 of
http://hmctsformfinder.justice.gov.uk/courtfinder/forms/ex160a-eng.pdf
that shows the gross annual income limits for a couple to get all the full court fees paid.
On your income I would be surprised if you were over that, but only you can sit down and work it out. Or someone like a CAB advisor if you give them the full details.Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB

If it's just your OH earning £1037 after tax + tax credits? Then I can't see how you would get over the £23,860 limit?
If you can post up an itemised list of both your incomes than there may be some people (CAB advisors etc) that can say with more certainty?Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB
