Back one and a bit years ago i was approx 30/2007 and mine was the last day in january that worked out about 1 a day for that month!
Even the homeless hostel was full thats why we had to sleep in a touring caravan on the mother-in-laws drive and it snowed it was REALLY cold, good job kids were in the house.

Just goes to show, Loads of people go bankrupt every year and thats probably why the blood sucking lenders are all suffering now.

I'm not bitter

This number......70200 can't be national as I was ??? of 2008 on May 21st.

Is it counties, court regions?

Just looked up some figures and there were 53,114 petitions for bankruptcy in 2007.....nationally.

I think this year could be a record?

INDIVIDUAL INSOLVENCIES
There were 25,264 individual insolvencies in England and Wales in the first quarter of 2008 on a seasonally adjusted basis. This was an increase of 1.7% on the previous quarter and a decrease of 13.2% on the same period a year ago.
This was made up of 15,651 bankruptcies, an increase of 0.1% on the previous quarter and a decrease of 6.8% on the corresponding quarter of the previous year, and 9,614 Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs), an increase of 4.3% on the previous quarter and a decrease of 22.0% on the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

For bankruptcy orders there has been a pronounced shift towards debtor’s petition bankruptcies and away from creditor’s petitions in recent years. By the first quarter of 2008, 84% were made on the petition of the debtor.
The percentage of bankruptcy orders involving trading debts (self-employed bankruptcies) has fallen from 61% in 1995 to 11% in 2007 (first quarter 2008 figures for trading-related bankruptcies are not yet available). It should be noted, however, that figures for 2007 are based on a revised classification and are not entirely consistent with earlier years figures.

Individuals

29,116

of which:

Bankruptcies

16,788

IVAs

12,328
