Hi there,
I think there must have been a from one of our advisors. The Insolvancy Service number is 0845 6029848 who will be able to offer advice regarding bankruptcy.
The number you rang was the National Insolvancy Helpline who offer IVA's and will not provide you with the advice regarding bankruptcy. The two names are very similar and can easily be confused. I can only apologise that you were given the incorrect number to call.
Just to confirm, the number you need to call is 0845 6029848
Regards,
CCCS

We've had this problem with some advisers at the CAB. Let's spell it out:
Insolvency Helpline - IVA pushers
Insolvency Service helpline - authoritative advice from the government body that oversees insolvency solutions0
