Advert in local paper

I know how you feel. To be honest, it is my main worry about being bankrupt! I know some people may think that it should be the least of my worries, but it is. Where I work everyone is pretty successful and I dont really want anyone to know, especially as I wil still be left with about £12,000 student debt to go!

I will defeintly be putting in a request for it not to be advertised, as we only have a weekly local paper, and pretty much everyone I know reads it, though my family and close friends already know I intend to go BR, is only work that worries me, and I intend to start my teacher training next year, and places are hard enough to come by already, I wouldnt wanted anyone interviewing me to recognise the name and not put me forward for the job because of it.

I didn't tell anyone I was going BR & even all these months on, I've only told one person (a relative). However, a nosey person who knows me through someone else saw the advert & made a point of mentioning it to me - I gave her a swift reminder of her own family's problems & she went off with her tail between her legs. Apart from her, I'm not aware of anyone else having seen it - I didn't even see it myself.

You might find them coming up to you quietly and asking for help/advice as they're in it deeper than you!

You're so right. A friend asked me for debt advice a couple of weeks ago. She doesn't know I'm BR, but I did tell her ages ago that I was going to "restructure my portfolio to consolidate my savings", which is a nicer way of putting it. Anyway, she's now got the details of organisations to contact & how to sort out her budget & her repayments.
