BR petition tomorrow. What to take...

ProDisc
Posts: 28 Forumite
I'm handing in my petitions tomorrow so hopefully by mid day I'll be on the way to relieving myself from this stress.
I've had my forms checked over by the CAB and everything looks fine. Not having an income and being supported by my partner may pose a question or two (apparently) but nothing serious.
I'm also trying for exemption from the court fee, but we'll see what happens.
One question is, besides the normal paperwork to prove household income etc, do you take bank statements to the court? I don't have anything to say either way
That's it. My final question before walking into court tomorrow.
Thanks to those who have helped. Its great to have you all around and I'll be sure to post the hearings results tomorrow afternoon.

Hi Prodisc, and good luck for tomorrow:T
Its a bit of a waste of time taking anything else.
The OR will send you a request pack with a SAE envelope for all the bank/CC statements.
I took everything (in a pretty, purple, winnie the pooh folder:o ) and brought it all home again.
Best just to take some change for the machine, a book/mag for the waiting time and a large dose of Bachs rescue remedy. Ohh and a jumper, my court was freezing.
Let us know how it goes.The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye. As the angels took your tiny hand and flew you to the sky-you forever left us breathless. RIP my beautiful granddaughter0 -
Good Luck ProDisc, stay positive and keep us informed, am sure you'll be feeling better tomorrowGreat minds discuss ideas, Average minds discuss events, Small minds discuss people.

Hi ProDisc
Hubby took all his BR papers, plus also bank cards, cheque books etc, thinking they would want the lot same day. Nope, they just want the papers. As others have said, they will ask you later for the bank cards, statements etc later.
Our OR has been a bit slow, even knowing we have moved they sent the letter saying they were going to ring us on the old number, and took until 9.20 this morning to respond to our phone call saying new number needed to be used ie mobile......and interview was at 11.30 today.
By 8.55 this morning the envelope containing all of the above documents was alreday at their office and actually got handed to him as he was on the phone to me.
So, just check and double check your BR forms, take a book or magazine and look forward to being oficially debt free.
Good luck and please let us all know how you get on, it's not as scary as you think.
