Your sipp and company pension should be exempt from your bankruptcy estate.
From what I can make out, you should get your sipp frozen as well, as you won't be able to make contributions to this during your bankruptcy period (usually 12 months). This would be because your sipp would be seen as a savings policy.
Let us know how you get on.
Anyone else, feel free to add, especially if I've got anything wrong.

The investments may have to go but as regards the pension it may depend on when you were due to receive it.
Hopefully someone on here can advise further.
Ascend may you find no resistance Know that you made such a difference All you leave behind will live to the end The cycle of suffering goes on But memories of you stay strong Someday I too will fly and find you again
