Bankruptcy - Heard nothing?

live'n'learn

Hi guys,

I went Bankrupt on Dec 6 2012 and thought I would have gotten a letter when I was released but have heard nothing.

Should I have heard something by now?

Cheers

You don't get any sort of letter or notification for automatic discharge, as it is........ automatic.

Hi remember to go to the insolvency service site and your status will say discharged, this stays on for 3 months so I would suggest you print a copy off for your records.
its a good feeling getting to this stage!!

A lot of people understandably assume you should. As automatic is automatic, the IS save costs and don't bother. If you hear nothing you can assume you are discharged.

Or as above ^^^ you can check your status online.

Make sure you click on your surname in the results list when you search as that is a link and takes you to the full record with current status.

Yes, very good plan to print that out as you disappear of the register 3 months after discharge.

Also, one can apply to the Court that granted the Petition for a letter of Discharge...but this will cost money [not sure of the current amount, probably nearly £70?}
