Hi All

Below is an excert from my local housing organisations articles of association. After having had a F+F agreed I am now looking at applying to go on this body again. However I am now told that even after completion of our composition I am excluded, I am also aware that they have at least two discharged bankrupts serving on their structures.

Is this descrimination.

It sounds as if the articles of association comprehensively exclude you from being on their body, which is their right (as unfair as it may seem).

They may not be aware they have discharged bankrupts in the association, or equally the board may have used their discretion in these instances, in which case you too could apply for exemption to the general rule too.

I'm minded not to go where I'm not wanted as far as these things are concerned.

That sort of attitude has more place in a Dicken's novel that in the 21st century - they don't deserve you janderson!

Completely agree Mel. It is so unfair when you have clearly demonstrated your ability to pay back what you can to creditors that you are still penalised like this.....just not fair !

I personally would look to do something else with my time !
Sharing from experiences of dealing with debt

There is a solution for everyone .... Just need to stay positive !

Look at my blog "All I wanted was a baby"
