Albert,
Van -
At £6,000 the OR is likely to want to claim that in bankruptcy, but what they do is realise it as an asset, then give you £2,000 for the purchase of a reasonable replacement. However, when I say give, what generally happens is that you identify the vehicle you want then the OR or his agent will pay the vendor, procedures vary from one OR to another.

As for your daughters car, is the finance agreement in your name?

Can you provide more details of your business as a self employed builder, as by the sounds of it you're not a sub contractor.

Insolvency examiner until July 2010, contract ended due to cost cutting!

Hi Albert

The non paying client will probably be the last straw but there are probably several other aspects that have impacted your decision to pursue Br. Economic climate, etc etc

You are entitled to retain a vehicle for work, however it is highly unlikely that you will be able to keep a 6k van. it is usual to retain a 2 - 2.5k vehicle.

also regarding the car that is on finance - as the financi is in your daughters name then it is her responsibility - it would be quite difficult to justify the cost of a car plus the running of a van.

I would really encourage you to take advice from one of the site experts so you can understand the process and what will happen with trading names, bank accounts, debtors, taking of deposits in the future and a number of other important things that will impact you.

the experts will be happy to have a chat and that will put your mind at rest.

kind regards
