    Not everyone will agree with you, their opinion is valid, however this is a forum for support so maybe this isn't the best place for this thread even if it is about bankrupcy.

    Please be nice to other moneysavers ;)

    This is exactly true.

    I hope I havent offended anyone in starting this. I wanted an opinion and boy have I got it !

    Im really sorry if the 'non adult' is me. Truly I am.

    From a micro economic perspective, with regard to business and commerce, bankruptcy is a means of re-allocating scare resources to more efficient providers of goods and services.

    How that applies to individuals is less clear. In the USA, a bankruptcy under your belt is better that an MBA or law degree from Harvard. In the slightly more bigoted society of the U.K such is not the case.

    We fought a bitter and ultimately fruitless battle to avoid bky, and having actually been dragged punching and screaming through the system I really do feel quite indifferent about the whole thing.

    It's like having a s**t, I'd really rather not bother, but it's just a part of being human.

    Hi Mike,

    Bloody wearisome, having to cut a few corners, but we'll get there; when we get moved in you guys will be the first to get an invite to our hot tub and al fresco evening; we'll put some of our detractors on the BBQ.

    Well done Mike,

    You've stopped me from once again proving that I have a severe character flaw: I just can't keep my mouth shut :o

    lewt,

    Absolutely not, I really am 100% all there; I appreciate others are not and I try to be kind to them.
