Some companies will assist with bankruptcy costs, if you're a customer of a certain gas company, you can apply to their trust for help with the fees:

I'm afraid there is no way that you can pay the fees during the period of BR. It then becomes another debt and thats a No No!
I don't receive any benefits either, but completed the form EXX160, stating that i was on a low income and that was accepted and my fees were reduced by £150.00. and i didn't even have to supply proof! I still had to find the OR fee of £335. From what i gather there is NO getting out of that one, regardless.
Quoting the form from the court it states that: if your gross annual income is £15500.00 or less and you recieve WTC and CTC then you are entitled to be exempt. But, as i said, i recieve neither and still got my fees reduced.
Some water companies offer help with the fees, though i believe less and less are doing so now, due to the high numbers of BRs. ( i tried my water company and they said no!
Good luck with finding the money. I know how difficult it can be and what a dam nuisance it is. It seems ridiculous that you have to find so much money to go BR...when i'm prime minister i will abolish this !!!!!
