Fees for annullment

If money is inhereted in BR, the OR would take it. But how much?

I understand you can annull the BR if you pay the original debt + fees.

Anyone have experience of this? Or know how much the fees can be?

Thanks

    The OR’s general fee is £6000. However it depends on what the inheritance is. If it’s cash you’re fine. But if it’s an asset they have to realise they will take an additional 15% cut (there is no limit on this either). Also, if you were made bankrupt by someone else they pay their debt (along with any others) plus their petition costs. I think this just under £2000.
  • I'm not sure how much to annul a bankruptcy, but I'm guessing it's whatever the court charges? No idea how to find that out, I guess phoning the Court office might be the best plan.
