Bankruptcy has been approved now what

As above it’s been approved do I cancel all my dd? Inc hp for my car 

also I am due to make a £300 payment on Monday for a ccj do I let the person know that I am bankrupt or let the system do that? ( think it takes 6 to 8 weeks for them to contact them) the ccj is named in my bankruptcy.

    Ok, you are now bankrupt, so you do not pay any of your credit debts anymore.

    If a creditor asks, you write and tell them your bankrupt, and refer them to your OR.

    The CCJ is now null and void, the creditor has no remedy against you any longer as you are protected by your bankruptcy.

    What is the situation with your car ? what`s its value ? is it essential ? You need to be a little clearer on this.

    Thank you I use my car but it’s on HP so I know I will lose it but do I stop payment towards it?

    You don't automatically lose it. Secured debts are not included in bankruptcy, but you need to check if your HP company will terminate on bankruptcy - some do, some don’t. How much are your payments? How long left on the agreement?

    It's up to the OR then to decide if you have an actual need for it and whether they approve the payments in SOA

    The OR (or someone from there office) will usually call you in the next few days, so my suggestion would be to take the opportunity then and ask about the car, they should be able  to give you an indication of what is likely to happen to it.
