Dear MSE,

I have significant debt in UK. I am overseas and has been 4 years since the default. My house was repossessed.

1-Is it worth declaring bankruptcy now. what are the pros and cons?

2- If i were to declare bankruptcy and came to work in uk ,i am worried that i will not be able to open a bank account with out which i will not be able to get paid among other difficulties. any solution to this problem?

3- What if i continue to work overseas for another couple of years and then come back, will that change anything?

I really need some sound advice on how to plan my future.
