They stay on your file for 6 years just like bankruptcy
However with a bankruptcy nothing to pay, and after a year, it’s over and after 6 years or less they come of credit file.
Where’s with defult or ccj you still paying it off during 6 years and even after 6 years
Only downside I can see to bankruptcy in this situation is you on a public register

the Other thing it’s morally wrong.0 -
Some professions do not accept bankrupt as employees, bank employees being one.0

Some people incur a default because of purely admin reasons, such as the payment being processed through the system just one day late. It would be daft for that type of person to declare bankruptcy. Not to mention, morally wrong.
Some people end up with a CCJ because of a specific and focused dispute with one supplier. That would not be a cause to declare bankruptcy affecting rent / mortgage / car loan / credit cards etc. Again, it would be morally wrong and the impact to the individual far greater than one-off CCJ.
Lenders are quite intelligent people really and can assess the risk of a sole default or CCJ far differently to bankruptcy.0 -

Bankrupcy is just one of several regulated debt solutions, and is concidered to be the last resort, in most cases.You need to have debts in excess of £5000 in order to qualify, if you have a house, you could lose it, the same applies to any other significant asset, including your car, if its worth over £1500.Any disposable income you have over and above £20 per month will be used to fund an IPA (Income Payment Arrangement) for up to 3 years.If the OR suspects you deliberatly made yourself bankrupt, or your reckless actions contributed to it in some way, or if there is a hint of fraud, or you fail to cooperate, then they can make a BRO (Bankrupcy Restrictions Order) against you for up to 15 years.It is ludicrous to suggest that going bankrupt is preferable to having county court judgements, one simply does not coralate to the other.Bankrupcy has its place, and the process has been made much simpler than ever before, but it is still a massive step for most people to take, and should not be concidered an easy option, and certainly should not be used in the way you suggest.Ladies and gentlemen, I understand your responces in regard to this post, but please do not play the moral card, especially on the bankrupcy board, a lot of people reading here may be at the end of their tether, and looking to go bankrupt, the very last thing, apart from the OP`s notion, that they want to hear, is the moral aspect of the choice they are about to make, the decision alone is hard enough for some, so i`ll ask you nicely to please refrain from posting such things, all other help and advice is very welcome, but lets stick to facts and not feelings here, I know the regular contributors go out of their way to be helpful, and for that you have my thanks.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.
