Posted - 12 February 2012 : 18:10:57 Hi Guys,
I've been popping in and out of here for the last year. I've been riding the first year of my Bancruptcy storm and (I think) due for discharge on 3rd March. However, I have heard nothing from my trustees - is that a good sign? If I am discharged from BR does that mean I owe nothing? And can I now go out and get a better paid job without the BR 'police' coming to claim any extra pennies that I earn? Also, I'd like some advice on rebuilding credit reports post BR, so if anyone has any advice tha would be greatly appreciated :)

That helps confirm what I thought.
I'm applying for other jobs now that my year is nearly up. How can potential employers discriminate against me for being a discharged bankrupt?

You can get another job but make sure that whatever you do does not discriminate against BR.
Your BR will remain on your credit record for six years from the date you were declared BR so you don't need to do anything in a hurry,
