Oh well thats just fab.... Checked my Child Tax Credits and little was 1 year old so payments dropped to £212 per week. This showed a deficit. I rejigged the figures a bit, and now I have £8 surplus. I have been advised BR/ token payments. As hubbys job is about to end don't think the latter is much good.:starmod: I am not that savage :heartpuls But I am a Vixen :staradmin0

savagevixen, once you're found out which court you need to submit your bankruptcy petition to, ring them to find out what their procedure is. Some courts do have long waiting lists, but others especially very big ones don't.
My court (Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand!) is huge - they say you can turn up without an appointment, & will be seen that day as long as you're there before 10am. They say it can all be done the same day, so you have to keep the whole day free, but they have a volunteer service to offer advice & provide emotional support. Every court is different, so you must ring to check with them, so that you can get your name on the list if need be.BSC #53 - "Never mistake activity for achievement."

Does that include your interview with the OR?0 -
There's a lot of to-ing & fro-ing throughout the day. From what I could make out, you first go to the fees office to pay up in cash. Then you go to another building to submit your papers with your fee payment slip. They can't give you legal advice, but they'll check your form has been correctly filled in. They'll give you a time to go back to collect your papers later that day, so you collect them & take them to the Insolvency Office. Someone will go through your papers with you in more detail at that stage, so it might well be the OR. I've got to ring them again this week, as I couldn't take it all in when she was telling me about it. :embarasse
The number to ring for more info is 020 7947 7701 (Personal Support Unit). They're also the people to ring for emotional support, someone to accompany you through the day if you need it etc.BSC #53 - "Never mistake activity for achievement."
