Afternoon all. I was made bankrupt back in 2009. Discharged after 6 months. I lost everything, my house, car, the lot. I have now been sent a cheque from my old mortgage provider for a “refund of arrears management fees, litigation fees and solicitors costs” relating to my closed mortgage account.
Can I keep this money?? Bearing in mind this happened 9 years ago!
Please help!!

If the mortgage it relates to is from before your bankruptcy, you let the OR know you have received it and ask them if they want it or you can keep it.
If its a mortgage you have had after bankruptcy then it is yours.IS this classed as PPI??
PPI is a specific type of insurance.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -
Hi Munch85
Welcome to the forum. The Insolvency Service technical manual says:
'Any property which would have been an asset had it been in the bankrupt!!!8217;s possession as at the date of the making of the order would be considered after-acquired property.'
That means that had your mortgage lender given you the refund at the time of the bankruptcy your OR would have claimed it as an asset. You'll need to contact your OR and inform them about the refund. It is very likely they will take this unless all your debts and OR's fees had previously been paid off by the sale of your assets/IPA in your bankruptcy.
