I am in the process of filling out the online form for bankruptcy, but won't be submitting till next months rent has cleared.

In terms of paying the fee, i see conflicting reports, you can pay by credit card - but morally you shouldn't.
People advising to take it out in cash and pay that way - surely this is just as obvious...

I don't have the funds saved up, and can't really afford to save having just moved into rented accommodation i have no spare funds.

What are peoples thoughts, or experiences has anyone here paid on their own credit card?

The online bankruptcy application process was set up with the expectation that people would pay by card.

Some credit card suppliers complained about this and the Insolvency Service responded by putting a line about people not using personal credit in order to pay the fee.

In practice if you do so, nothing happens. At least I've helped a lot of people to go bankrupt that way and it's never been an issue so far.

Thanks, it’s my only real option in the short term to get it done.
just gonna wait for pay day and the rent to go out before I press go.
