    I doubt they will, they get nothing that way, they will keep pestering you though
    What do you base that on? They make people bankrupt all the time, and the threat of it obviously encourages others to make more effort to pay, especially those whose career would be wrecked via a bankruptcy.

    How many in deep debt would really be wrecked by a creditors BR petition? only a few like company directors (most of whom would dodge the bullet with fancy footwork), anyone covered by FCA rules or anyone with really good assets (who would have those protected already in most cases)
