BR and Jail?

Hi missimaxo,

Thank you for taking the time to explain that, and your posts have been very informative.

I suggest you phone the OR's office, and ask to speak to the Assistant Official Receiver who is dealing with your friend's case, please ensure that you bypass the case clerk and the examiner.

Explain the situation, state that you are trying to get your friend to face up to her problems and seek help, but that it is taking time to get to this stage.

To avoid a PE, ask if you can attend a face to face meeting at the OR's office with your friend, you can sit in the meeting at the discretion of the examiner. You will find that most OR's wil be glad of the opportunity to obtain the information they need without putting a Public Examination at court on your friend.

Your friend also needs to go to the Doctors and seek professional help for the stress and whatever else is wrong. If there is drug abuse, and this is one of the reasons for her bankruptcy, then it is likely she may get a BRO/BRU but seeking help would go in her favour.

With regards to the suspension of discharge, the usual procedure is that it would make her bankruptcy indefinitely (sp?), until she co-operated and then the OR would go back to court to have the suspension lifted.

I fear you are going to have to be a 'tough' friend to get her through this, it will be difficult , but hopefully over time she can see that you are acting with her best interests at heart.

Thx everyone for all your heartfelt replies. The situation at the moment is everything is calm, I have asked my friend what is happening and she said that her house has been repossessed and she phoned the OR to tell her, the OR, she said, was happy that she had phoned her to tell her about her home, and since then the OR has not contacted her. My friend also wrote a letter to the OR explaining about her stress levels and told the OR about the doctor's note, but she hasn't had a reply from the OR and all is quiet. So am I right in thinking my friend should not be worried? I mean how often does the OR keep in contact? My friend is relieved that the OR is not on her back now, but is also a little worried that the OR has not said anything. Should she just wait for the OR to contact her?

Any advice will be appreciated
