Bankruptcy - contents insurance?

Is this for active/current bankruptcy only or for any bankruptcy even if it took place over 10 years ago? In 2014, my bankruptcy was erased from my credit files and all is good since with credit reports, etc.
Many thanks in advance.

As the question isn't time limited you should declare it.0

Even if bankruptcy drops off your credit record it is a matter of public record on the register. Don't be tempted to lie about it. See a local insurance broker for advice
Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

My B.R was 6 years ago....always declared it when asked and never had a problem getting contents insurance.
It really should not be a problem just remember if asked...have you ever been B.R you must answer yes0 -

Thanks all!
So does this mean that I cannot proceed with MoneySupermarket?0 -
The site asks you to confirm you have not been made bankrupt if you want to proceed. If you say confirm that you are lying and it will invalidate your insurance. You don't need to use comparison sites when a broker could do it for you

Just check with the company showing a reasonable amount and read their T&C...check their assumptions.0
