BR Question:IPA

Hi all
I am considering bankruptcy as an option to my debt problems.
I have some questions, around IPA.
How long (maximum) can an IPA last ?
Are you still "bankrupt" during the duration of the IPA ?
Currently I don't have much spare cash after I have paid a mortgage, although I guess the OR will sell the house to release the equity.
This then means I am "mortgage free" and have more spare cash to go to pay my debtors, hence the Q's .
Any advice gratefully received..

Generally an IPA lasts 3 years. You would usually be bankrupt for 1 year.
Of course if you have no mortgage you will have rent, so best to calculate whether you will be better off.I'm a Forum Ambassador on The Coronavirus Boards as well as the housing, mortgages and student money saving boards.
