Car Tax

in Bankruptcy & living with it
My car tax is due to expire at the end of the month and I am going bankrupt next week.

Should I carry on and tax it as normal or would I need permission from the OR as it is so close to my BR date?

Sorry if it is a silly question but I am now getting paranoid about any money that I spend! :o

Thanks

    I've just (yesterday) had to insure the car I will no doubt be having reposessed sometime very soon. Very depressing moment but probably not as depressing as *not* insuring it and having it stolen or something!

    With any luck you may get to keep the car, user, especially if you need it for work.

    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    I'm not planning on fighting for it - can't afford it. I'll have to save up for an oold banger.
