I am on the hunt for a contents insurance for my flat - and was surprised that MoneySupermarket (guide) was asking the following questions:
Is this for active/current bankruptcy only or for any bankruptcy even if it took place over 10 years ago? In 2014, my bankruptcy was erased from my credit files and all is good since with credit reports, etc.
Many thanks in advance.

As the question isn't time limited you should declare it.0

Even if bankruptcy drops off your credit record it is a matter of public record on the register. Don't be tempted to lie about it. See a local insurance broker for advice0

My B.R was 6 years ago....always declared it when asked and never had a problem getting contents insurance.
It really should not be a problem just remember if asked...have you ever been B.R you must answer yes0 -
Directline and Co op often have a more reasonable time limit on bankrupts0

Thanks all!
So does this mean that I cannot proceed with MoneySupermarket?0 -
The site asks you to confirm you have not been made bankrupt if you want to proceed. If you say confirm that you are lying and it will invalidate your insurance. You don't need to use comparison sites when a broker could do it for you0

Just check with the company showing a reasonable amount and read their T&C...check their assumptions.0
