Hi Vincent.VY
If you are in receipt of Income Support, Income based Job Seekers Allowance, State Pension Guarantee Credit, Working Tax Credit but NOT child tax credit and Income based employment and support allowance and can provide proof of receipt, you can complete form ex160a - as mentioned by gettingoutofdebt - and you will only have to pay the £450 for your bankruptcy. The court fee will be waived. However if you receive any other benefit or allowance or need to claim a refund based on your annual income, you will have to pay the full £600 when you make yourself bankrupt and you have 6 months to claim a refund on form EX160a. Be warned, though, that it is not easy to claim a refund as the Insolvency Service will make any excuse for not giving a refund. You have to prove, almost beyond doubt, that you are receiving benfits at the time of your bankruptcy.
Good luck and please come back to the forum if you have any further questions.

The form and the guidelines are available below:

Normally you need some sort of proof that you are receiving benefit in order to claim the £150 rebate and I think (not 100% sure) that you can either claim the refund on the day or 30 days after you are declared BR. |
