Hi Rachel, no, you don't need to take your bank statements to court. All you need is your BR fees and the petition. Please make sure you take enough copies of the petition - I didn't and it cost me £7 per copy! Check with the court about how many you need as I think it can vary.
Once you have been to court you will have a brief telephone call with the OR's office. Some people wait at the court for it, others (like me) are sent away and get the call later on. They will give you the date for your interview and let you know if you need to attend their office or if it will be on the telephone. They will also send you a BR pack, and you will need to complete the forms and return it with the documentation that the OR has requested - bank statements, credit card statements etc. Don't worry if you don't have all the statements - the OR can get them from your creditors. I would advise keeping copies of everything you send to the OR so that when you have the interview you will have everything to hand if they ask you a question. The best advice I can give about the OR interview is to be honest with them. If they ask you a question and you don't know or can't remember the answer say so.
Good luck, and look forward to the furture x
