2 days from discharge date... do i need to do anything?

When do I start the clean up? How long until I show as discharged on the insolvency register?

When do I start to repair my credit, I know it will be goosed for another 5 years.

I have a buy out for car which will continue until satisified but I'm no longer bound by bankrutpcy terms? So any inheritance I get now is mine?

Sorry for all the questions. I am based in Scotland so aware I am still signed into a DCA for 3 years :mad:

    Hello there


    Any inheritance to which you first become entitled after your discharge from bankruptcy would be yours to keep.

  • Just to confirm ,

    Even if I was included in someones will before date of bankruptcy? So if I receive inheritance from this will in say, 2 years, I am entitled to 100%

    Thanks

    It's the date of death that counts. Anyone writing a will while you are bankrupt could change it many times before it becomes useful.
