    Hiya QQ and welcome to May's BR Club, I've added you to post one :beer:

    Thinking of you on next Wednesday and let us know how you get on.

    My checklist, what to take to court :-

    - Your two copies of 6.27 and 6.28 and the Originals, do not sign them, you do this in front of the clerk. Your completed EX160 if applicable and any benefit letters/forms etc as proof (Important - letters have to be dated within one month of your court date and no later).

    - Money for bankruptcy fees.

    - Spare change for coffee machine.

    - Paper or magazine to read while waiting.

    - Change for car park.

    - Optional a friend to chat to/hold hand.

    NB Do ring the BR Clerk at your court as to what they require from you, as it does differ from court to court.

    Best wishes

    Hi QQ
    I went BR 2 weeks ago, and was feeling exactly the same as you, felt totally nervous and sick before the appointment at the court, and I know this is easy for me to say, but please don't worry, it's more of a formality than anything, and you'll walk out of there feeling like a weight has lifted off your shoulders. I was asked just a few questions and then waited for almost an hour and I was off, could hardly believe it. Had my phone call with the OR yesterday and he was really nice and friendly and I think basically that it is, it's over, and the relief is immense, so really hope you feel the same way too...good luck next week! :)

    Thanks - you were right, my experience was similar and the process quick.

    I have my BR date as the 27th May, excited and nervous at the same time. No matter how much reading is done on this forum, there is always a worry there that something will not go as expected.
