:staradmin Hi Everyone and Welcome to the September's 2012 Bankruptcy Club :staradmin
This club is for everyone who has gone or going through the process of Bankruptcy during September 2012. So please feel free to join and post.
Pop your name on here, the date that you went Bankrupt and the stage that you are at now in your Bankruptcy. And then just keep everyone in the club updated throughout the next year about your BR journey. That way we can all stick together and compare notes and we will be there to support each other throughout the different stages in our Bankruptcy.
Remember this is your board so keep posting :hello:
Obviously anyone can come on here and post anything that will help us all and you are all welcome. Any important questions that need answering please still post them on the main board, as you will receive more advice and help.
Hopefully it will be an extra place for friendship and support as we compare notes and discuss what is happening with our Bankruptcies.
~ Please do not include too much information as the IS (Insolvency Service) are known to frequent this forum and they may identify individual cases, so username and date only, thank you ~"If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride"

:) start of the month and the "usual" round of calls from creditors wanting to review payments and also "we couldn't collect the direct debit/card payment" felt oddly good to be able to deflate them with a "I was declared bankrupt last week, here is the number, you will hear from the OR at some point" from the reaction of some this isn't on the flow chart of the script they have in front of them.
Now hoping that the OR is a dog lover as have been left 6 to care for when we seperated and have included the cost of these on the SOA
It's a good feeling when the phone rings now eh!!
Got my fingers crossed the OR is a dog lover too :beer:

A week today and still feels good
most creditors have been told when they called chasing payments, feel a bit sorry for the caller as they have prepared themselves and the script to pressure a payment out of you and the "you cant have anything, here is my BR number" you can hear the disappointment in there voice, but also finding out the lack of training they are given, very few knew what to say or do when told other than "we will note it on your records" some still wanted a payment, seemed surprised when told it would be illegal for me to make one to them, these are "debt collection specialists" not the original creditors, guess shows the level of training given to the call centre staff.
One threatened that they will still persue me for the debt no matter what, pointed them in the direction of the "Protection from Harrasment" law of '97 and would they like to be arrested instead? we shall see if the field agent they have said will call is nice.:)every time I manage to get one more breath into this body, I will sing a song of thanks to you my brothers, my sisters, my friends, may your sleep be peaceful, and angels sing sweetly in your ears.0 -
Hi TB, Glad all is still well and I love DI's response to any door step callers.not to worry, if it is in the daytime and they call, ask who they are and ring the OR on the spot and offer for the creditor to speak to them, i guarantee they will not come back

Hi, Went BR 13.55 03.09.12. Couldnt belive how non-judgemental teh court staff were and how straightforward the process was. This is not to say that becoming BR is something to be shouted about but more that I needn't had been so anxious about the court process.
I have still not heard from the OR however. I called on 7th September 2012 and left a message. I hope I get a call or a letter soon as I want to complete the OR process and any IPA stuff as soon as possible and move on.
I'll provide regular updates here.0 -

Hi mafflondon and Welcome to September's BR Club.
I've added your name to the front page :beer:
I'm pleased your BR went well and everyone was nice, fingers crossed your OR sorts out your IPA quick and you can begin your new start.
Best wishes
