Could someone please put my mind at rest!

Hi

On Monday after years of struggling with personal debt I took my SOA etc along to the crown court and was accepted. I walked away from the court with my Bankruptcy Order signed and stamped. I had a mixture of relief but anxious feelings as to what was to come.

I have had a few calls from my OR's office and have been advised that my telephone interview will be a week on Monday.

Could anyone please give me an idea of how these telephone interviews go like? Is it just the SOA's they go through?

I must admit they made me feel like I was a bad person for doing this but I really couldn't see an alternative. Does it get easier?

Thanks

I'm really surprised you've had a few calls from the OR's office, I think normally there is only one just to check you have money for subsistance and to make the appointment for the full OR interview so to have a few calls is unusual.

Yes, the actual OR interview will just be going through your SOA page by page really. It's ok, if you have a read around the forum you will see many posts saying it was no where near as bad as they expected.

All the best with it all.

Thank you for your reply.

I have had 4 phone calls in total. The person who called had to keep checking with the OR to advise me on whether I could keep my business trading. They also had to keep checking to see if my bank accounts would be frozen. They put the fear of god into me I can tell you to start with. Its been more of an anxious time after the Bankruptcy Order was agreed than the actual day I took it into the court.

We are now in the middle of whether my work vehicle will have to be sold and a piece of machinery in my business. It is still a very stressful time but I am dreading the telephone interview. I don't expect the OR's office to be over friendly but they made me feel awful.
