    Job Seekers allowance (income based) would qualify for automatic exemption from the £150.00 court fee. (take a letter dated within a month to confirm your benefit.

    JSA (contribution based) is not automatic but you can still apply for a remission - take proof of all your income.

    In both case complete Form EX160 available from court or it should be in your bankruptcy pack.

    The OR deposit is still payable.
