Causes of bankruptcy, what do you think?

Hi, I have just completed the causes of bankruptcy with following:

An injury in 2005 resulted in me being unable to work for a substantial period and therefore loss of pay, Credit was used for day to day living expenses which mounted up and then following this is when the problems started with being unable to manage my debts.

In 2006 I entered into an IVA to try and resolve the situation I was in financially as although I had been able to return to work partially since the original injury it was impossible to catch up and another injury late in 2006 into 2007 resulted in more time off work without pay and the eventual failure of the IVA in 2007.
Also in mid 2006 the tenancy on my rented property ended and this resulted in moving to a new rented property but all expenses were higher, as had been in the previous property for 4.5 years with no rent increase in that time and low bills, this did not help the situation.

Since then I have been trying to resolve the financial situation but have found it impossible and have followed advise from CAB & CCCS to declare bankruptcy.

Is this ok or too much waffling on?!

Thanks for your help x

    Thanks for your reply,
    Glad it sounds ok. I was thinking of submitting the form with this basic information and then when I send the information as requested to the OR enclosing another sheet with a bit more detail as they will no doubt require more information. Is this a good idea?

    Thanks again guys x
