    I`m sure you have asked this before, normally, no, there isn`t, unless you know of any particular charity that may help with this kind of thing, usually the bankruptcy fee is either taken from any available credit you may have, or saved from payments you with hold from creditors.

    That is what ive told the person, cut back payments to debtors, divert monies to the IS/Gov gateway  application site

    I was able to get help in the way of a grant from a charitable trust linked to my profession, my case manager from CAB put me in touch with them and had a list of charitable trusts from many different professions who could assist with a grant for either the full fee, or a portion of the fee.
