  • also my advice is to go BR sooner rather than later. Dont wait too long, as you might kick your own butt in 6 years if your still not out the other side and you could have been free, but have 2 years further to go because you waited
  • Also in this time get a BR friendly bank account. Nationwide Flex Basic and the Barclays basic account are the weapons of choice atm. Make sure it is the basic account opened and not a current account. Get all direct debits etc. moved across and the account running nicely.


    Hi Tigerfeet - what is the problem getting a "clean" current account?

    As a bankrupt you cannot have a current account only a basic account. Some banks are better at accommodating bankrupts than others and those are the ones we recommend.
