lost my bankruptcy paperwork!

Hi all, firstly I apologise if this is in the wrong place or already answered!
I am in the process of clearing up my credit file.(I know I should have done this ages ago!)
I have lost my original paperwork for my bankruptcy and discharge.
I know the dates as they are on one of my credit reports but not the other. (the bankruptcy is on both but not the discharge)
I have about 5 creditors who were included in my bankruptcy but have not marked as satisfied so I am planning on writing to them but I need to get a copy of my bankruptcy and discharge to prove they were on it...
Also have a question, as on my original bankruptcy I had a car on finance. This was repossessed without notice as they had taken no notice of my official receiver contacting them and just applied for a repossession order and gave it to the biggest man in the world to collect!!! which he did do and I certainly didnt argue with him....
Anyway they are still showing the debt on my credit report - do I still write to them in the same way?
sorry if thats too many questions - any help would be much appreciated!
thanks

Get in touch with your Official Receiver.
You can purchase a copy of the official paperwork for a small fee. Alternatively, my OR just sent me a letter confirming my BR and discharge date which my creditors accepted and that didn't cost me a penny.0 -
How do I find out who my OR was?
Sorry for being vague but it was nearly six years ago!
I know which court it was?0 -
Ask the court which office it was. It will also say on your entry in the London Gazette.Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB

It's 'usually' the OR local to where you live so if you get in touch with them they should be able to confirm if it's them.
There's information on contacting the OR's here https://www.gov.uk/contact-official-receiver0
