Bankruptcy Qs - Leaving the British Isles and End of bankruptcy order

archergal

Couple of questions it would be great to get answers on please.
What happens at the end of the 12 month bankruptcy order, assuming all has gone well? Do you have an exit interview/forms to fill out or do you just get a letter to say your bankruptcy order has finished and the restrictions no longer apply etc?

Also are you allowed to leave the British Isles whilst under your 12 month bankruptcy order e.g. to go on holiday?
Thanks!

At the twelve month mark - as long as you have cooperated with the official receiver - your bankruptcy will be automatically discharged. You won’t get a notification or a letter, but you can keep an eye on the bankruptcy register, abs once marked as ‘discharged’ take a screen shot for future reference. 

You can go anywhere you like during the twelve months - there are no travel restrictions - however you shouldn’t be able to afford any big holidays during that period as any excess funds should be used to pay off your creditors. 

(That doesn’t stop someone else from paying for your holiday though)

No travel restrictions for England/Wales/Scotland, but Northern Ireland did - so please check if you are NI
