Bankruptcy questions 3 July at 6:40PM in Bankruptcy & Living With It 45 replies 1.7K views

I’m thinking about bankruptcy as a last resort, my income from employment is about £1500 and about the same total from UC because our rent element is high and we have kids.

I want to know if our income is too low compared to outgoings so our debts get rotten off completely or if we will be expected to keep paying a little?

has anybody got a link to an example max expenses allowed for each thing for a family

If I arrange an IVA, then lose my job in the future can it be changed?

sorry for so many questions

There are no allowances as such..there are trigger amounts which are not public knowledge...although we do have posters on here that deal with that daily. 
Please put up your SOA and we can advise

Hi could you start your own thread please. 
It gets confusing answering to different people on someone else's post. 
Thank you
