Hi,

I would try your local Citizens Advice Bureau. They should be able to point you in the right direction

I think that you are quoting the bankruptcy deposit which has to be payable into Court. The CAB have a number of charitable schemes that they can use to pay for this depending upon eligibilty, so rayb's advice is good.
