More Questions

So, I'm seriously considering bankruptcy.

If I go bankrupt, can I get a job?

If I go bankrupt, can I start my own business, if I don't have to borrow any money, like an online affiliate marketing business?

If I set up a website that just gives info and has affiliate links, is that really classed as a business?

    Hi NoMoney

    Hope you are OK.

    Definately can be sole trader even if BR, or partner in partnership, however cannot start a Limited Co. I think you should be ok with the website.

    Business is fine but make sure not Ltd Co.

    Take care, Angexx

    Hi and welcome to the board.

    The first thing you must do is get free and impartial advise from one of the debt charities.

    Yeah I did.

    I can't afford a debt repayment plan.
    I can't get an IVA because I don't owe enough!!

    So yeah bankruptcy is my only option....

    Hmm, I just went to the CAB today and they're saying I have to pay £335 rather than £495 because I'm on benefits.

    I asked if I could get a legal aid solicitor to handle this and they said no?

    Does that mean I'll have to pay the £335?

    Its actually £345 now and unfortunately you will not be exempt from this as it's the OR's fee.

    the £150 you're exempt from is the court fee.

    Can I not just get a legal aid solicitor that won't cost me anything to act as the or?

    Unfortunately not, the OR isn't a solicitor.

    court fee exemption
