Finally BR

Well thats it, today was the day, I am officially BR and now my life can restart.

I have always read stories about how easy and simple the court day was but never really believed it would be that easy for me. I can tell anyone whos going through it, that the court day was nothing to worry about at all.

I arrived early and the creditors solicitor approached me to confirm I understood why I was there etc etc (bit of an A*se but he was only doing his job). He told me he would tell me when its our turn to go in so I didnt need to worry.

We waited for 30 minutes and then I was called in, the judge was surprised I had turned up as she said I wasnt required, I told her it was my debt and its the least I could do.

She confirmed what the process was and that I couldnt pay it back, she signed the document told me I am free from all debt. I was in the room for less than 2 minutes.

Simple as that...

Just need to worry about the OR now but thats one hurdle over.

I couldnt of been so calm without the help, support and advice from this forum, thank you so much guys.

I'll put another post up after I have the meeting with the OR.

  • Glad everything went ok for you, I think most of us worry when we attend court for anything official.

    Good luck with the next steps and hope it goes ok for you.

    well done :beer: just remember how much worry you put in for your court date and it wasn't needed, the OR call is the same, no need to worry over that, just remember they are writing what you say down so try and keep your answer short and to the point, it also help you from saying something you don't mean to.
