Recently bankrupt debts building up again

danjackson2021

It appears now hundreds of thousands of people are struggling with council tax and utilities 

m the recent so called help from the government is not enough

next winter the numbers of debts will be through the roof

Times are tough at the moment..I can remember mortgage interest rates at 17% and we managed but had less expectations back then

For some people until they truly have a lightbulb moment, government help will never be enough.  
Going back to your initial query for example, the person not agreeing to measures which will help prevent further debt such as a prepayment meter, even though they are recently bankrupt, doesn't seem to indicate that they fully appreciate their situation.  The official receiver is likely to be less forgiving if there is an application for a second bankruptcy and there is evidence that the person has failed to learn from previous mistakes. 

ETA  - although you have said in your first post that prepayment meters have been fitted, then later that the person won't allow the company access to fit them. You need to stop giving inconsistent information. It doesn't help.

If someone has recently gone bankrupt but since then has had council tax and utilities building up as well as credit cards.

if they can’t go bankrupt again for a year after they have been discharged then what can they do when bailiffs keep calling?

council tax debt is thousands now and pre pay meters have been fitted but they take the debt off everytime top up.

are there any emergency government help they can apply for?

For clarity.

Your post is quite confusing, because as fatbelly says, any utility and CT arrears, including the current years debts, are vested in the bankruptcy, so there shouldn`t be any to need help with.

Think you need to clarify one or two things here.

These are new areas since the last bankruptcy 

m it’s only about £2K council tax and about £3K utilities 

the utilities are threatening to fit prepay meters but everytime they try to get access they have been refused by the debtor

they can’t switch off the entire street so there is nothing they can do unless they can get access to fit the prepay meters

for the council tax the collection company is threatening prison but that’s a 😂 

And again.

So prepay meters have been fitted...

Why are the utilities 'threatening to fit prepay meters' when they are already in situ?

If pre pay meters have already been fitted there is nothing you can do

but before that happens there is a lot you can do to prevent them being fitted 

m they can’t turn off an entire street

So have they been fitted or not?

As a recent discharged this thread is concerning me a little

I don't understand how an undischarged bankrupt can be running up a debt on credit cards...

The cost of living crisis is disturbing 

this winter bills are going to double again after they have just doubled
