Hi ccastley - start your own thread and tell us your background and watch the support flood in. I recently went bankrupt, too. If you need some support or tips just PM me. I am not a professional but I have experienced it first hand

Hi CC and welcome to the board

Your first port of call should be to contact one of the Debt Charities; see links below. Their services are free; they have no vested interest to serve; their advisors are professionally trained and the advice they give will be objective and in your best interests only. CCCS operate a system of telephone appointments that are designed to be flexible and don’t require you to attend an office based interview. At the CAB you will need to make an appointment with a specialist Financial Advisor; other advisors may not have the specialist knowledge you’ll need.

If you’re advised that bankruptcy is the most suitable solution to your financial problems then we can offer the best support and anecdotal advice that you’ll find anywhere on the Web.

For more specific advice and support, in an environment that is managed by people with first hand experience of bankruptcy, and moderated to ensure that no deliberately inflammatory or abusive posts are made then please visit:

Just remember, as desperate as you may feel at the moment, we have all experienced what you are going through at the moment and with the right support and advice things will improve. It’s not an easy route to take but it is a route that will put you back in control of your life rather than just reacting to events.

If you have any questions about what is involved in the process just start your own thread and ask and read as many threads on the board as possible.

I will start my own thread in the next day or so and just wanted to say thanks for your empathy! It does mean a lot.
