  • The OR has no interest in you now, in anyway, you are free and clear.

    The only time you need to even think about your BK is basically if you are looking to borrow more than £500 up until the 5 year point from your BK.

    So, it's all good mate.
    I am not offering advice, at most I describe what I've experienced. My advice is always the same; Talk to a professional face to face.

    Debt - None of any type: Bank or any other accounts? - None: Anything in my name? No. Am I being buried in my wife's name... probably :cool:

    Incorrect. Restrictions on seeking credit of more than £500 only apply during the twelve-month period before being automatically discharged from bankruptcy. The OP is (hypothetically-speaking, as the advice you've given is not only incorrect but was unsolicited) free to apply for credit in any amount as a discharged bankrupt.

    From gov.uk's guidance re: Bankruptcy (gov.uk/bankruptcy/restrictions):
    3. Restrictions
    If you’re made bankrupt by the court you have to follow ‘bankruptcy restrictions’. This means you can’t:

    borrow more than £500 without telling the lender you’re bankrupt

    act as a director of a company
    create, manage or promote a company without the court’s permission
    manage a business with a different name without telling people you do business with that you’re bankrupt
    work as an insolvency practitioner (an authorised debt specialist)
    It’s a criminal offence to break the restrictions - if you do, the date you’re discharged (freed from your bankruptcy) can be delayed.

    You should also co-operate with the people managing your bankruptcy. For example, provide any information they ask for.

    How long the restrictions last
    The restrictions usually last for 12 months from the date the court made you bankrupt.
