    That’s horrendous, it just shows the importance of getting the right help as soon as possible, the council involved should hang there head in shame, terrible story.

    Why was he was left with all the fees to pay after his bankruptcy ?

    Was it because the council petitioned for it rather than him declaring it ?

    Are you going to post a video of your happy dance at the thought of a bailiff being made to discover a body?
    "If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you. "
    A.A. Milne

    We are such stuff
    As dreams are made on; and our little life
    Is rounded with a sleep.
