closest thing to a public executution, i bet some folk trawl the notices all day, and maybe have days out at magistrates courts whilst knitting, as if the personal humiliation isnt enough, surely ones human rights are being infringed?

No, they're not. The OR is required to inform all the creditors, & ensure that any in your local area are made aware that you're BR. As awful as it sounds to have your name in the paper, the reality is that it's literally nothing to write home about. The piece in the paper is not too many inches away from the adverts for escorts, chalet holidays, zip-up slippers & those adverts for magnifying glasses to help people read.

Rather than being like a public execution, I'd say it's more like someone being blindfolded & told that someone will come in & touch them, & just being left to wait for it to happen. So they wait & wait, but nothing happens, though they occasionally hear noises outside the door that make them think someone's about to come in the room. After a few weeks, someone comes in & says the whole thing's cancelled due to lack of interest, because the person they thought would do the touching can't be bothered, as they've been there done that. .

surely if my SOA includes all my creditors details and they are informed direct, the matter is in a closed loop?

You may be sure of that, and even the OR could be sure as well, but the info regarding your BR must still be put out there in the public domain.

Extra creditors do pop up sometimes, even when the BR swears 'black and blue' that they were all on the SOA. The procedure of publicising the BR is there to protect both you and the creditors in the event of any mistakes/errors/unknowns.

Not to mention that the fact of your BR must be in the 'public domain' so that future creditors, CRA's, and other parties that it may effect can check.

Courts Gazette it and the OR advertises in the local rag.

You can always request the advert in the local rag be stayed providing you have good reason.

would retaining limbs and other personal treasured body parts be grounds for keep it hush hush?
