Hi Lynna,

You can make yourself bankrupt. It costs £495, and you can easily save up for this by not paying your creditors.

Look at the following link:

http://www.insolvency.gov.uk/

It has all the information you need, plus the forms to fill in.

I do think you speak to someone like Paul Johns from Reviva. He is a very nice man and can answer your questions.

You can find his details under the experts link on the left hand side of the page.

Hi Linda,

Try to stay strong - you're not on your own,,,you've got us [;)]

You can go BR on your own, the fee is £495, but you may get a reduction if you're on certain benefits I think. It's still worth you contacting some companies, try Melanie or David, just to make sure you're making the right choice. It won't cost you anything to discuss your options.

You can declare yourself BR. You can complete the forms online at www.insolvency.gov.uk, or you can ask your local court to send you the forms out. There is a fee of £495 to make yourself BR, but if you are on certain benefits you can get a reduction of £150.

To find your local county court have a look on http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/.

I would also recommend contacting Paul Johns from Reviva, who posts on this site as an expert - his contact details are in the experts section. He will be able guide you through the BR procedure and is also a very nice man!

Good luck, and please keep posting xxx

Hi Linda

RE the creditors, dont let them make you cry hun, they have no right to upset you. If they do upset you tell them its illegal for them to cause undue stress. As soon as you mention Bankruptcy they will change their tune, they certainly did with me.

Take care, and remember youre not alone.
