Try not to worry..I did it last Thursday and it was a doddle really, just like everyone said it would be..i took 3 copies of forms 6.27 and 6.28, my fee and my mobile to play with..whole process took less than an hour and I was FREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(then I went home with a chilled bottle of white wine and necked it PDQ!!)
All the very best!!0 -

Well I um-ed and ah-ed over my SOA figures for ages but in the end I just put down what I considered I spent on everything with an eye on making sure I would have enough to live on...I also put extra info on the back of the form to give reasons for my expenditure...The OR called me the next day (last Friday) and asked me some straightforward questions about the circumstances of my BK and also about my bank account (long existing Co-op cashminder so she said she had no interest in it) and I have my full telephone interview this Friday at 9am
And yes, photocopies are fine! you sign them all in front of the court clerk
I can't advise about the IPOD as I had to pay the full £700 fee0 -
Good luck tomorrow. I'm still not sure on everything but from reading quite a few diaries a few years old but still inspiring and informative.:j0

One point I thought I was taking this too easily but trying to complete the forms today and speaking to Stepchange has brought on the nerves. Cant believe it's come to this.
I think most people go through a rollercoaster of emotions before they're actually declared BR, Keeping Positive, and the reactions afterwards are very different as well - after all we're all different people. If this is the right thing for you to do then keep your head up and you'll come out the other side a stronger person.
Chin up, take care

Well I slept , didn't think I would , got my fee & forms , though I don't have a printer so going to have to get photocopying done when I get to the town court is in.
It's raining and it matches my mood , I'm not tearful, just quite numb & wary.
So , after I get home today , I've got a film to watch, then tea , just a regular day just feels quite weird .mum "e" to the most perfect girl :Awho stood by me through it all nana to my beautiful grandson WLM 27.09.13:j
