Bankruptcy application complete!

Hi guys, so after a lot of consideration and trying to battle my debts for a few years I have finally submitted my bankruptcy application today. It said a decision will be made within 28 days, how long does it usually take to process?

Once it’s been ‘approved’ I think I will have a massive weight lifted and look forward to trying to move forward from this. Credit is evil, I never want another credit card or loan ect again. Onwards and upwards! I’ll update how things go.

This month is going to be so tight as we scrapped and cut all areas to get the money together for the bankruptcy fees.
