Is it true that you still have to pay back money per month for several months if you go bankrupt. I thought once you went "bump" then you didnt owe anything?

Depending on your disposable income the OR or your Trustee can insist on an Income Payments Agreement for up to 3 years. Could be between 30% and 50% of your disposable income.

An IPA is for between 50% and 75% of your disposable income, and if you have a look at my blog there is a table showing how much you could expect to pay. It lasts for 36 months and you have £100 or more disposable income before the OR will seek one.
