to re-iterate a previous post:
with regard to credit prior to BR, i have used me cards this month to purchase mobile phones (i trade on ebay,2nd job), i was in hospital at the beginning of the week with pancreatitis (sic) and the doctor told me i had to quit my secong job (ebay) as i was to have no stress, this income paid my CC debts and as i mentioned earlier i will now have to seriously consider BRcould i be prosecuted for fraud?will a BRO be more likely and how long will it last
as i stated i was not aware i was hospital bound.
thanks for all your time, i am eternally gratefull.

Hi Andrew,
Apologies. I wasn't implying that you do not intend to cooperate ... I was just illustrating that the OR is not as "toothless" as some may think.

Hi Andrew,
That's as maybe, but they'll go to court to get what they want soon enough if you don't play ball.

Hi
Wendy
if you've used them in order to eat etc, and in small sums, I wouldn't worry at all.

Hi Wendy
As Andrew says there are other posts but dont panic an BRU or BRO are not as bad as you think.
Have a read through the replies from this month and hopefully it will answer your question if not write in this or do another post and we will clarify for you.
Take care

Go for it. LOL
I hope everything works out for you. I always say "There is light at the end of the tunnel" and i should know my light is getting brighter. I still have a long way to go and still so much to learn but you will get there Andrew and your not alone, honestly.
We all have different amounts of debts, different circumstances but we all end up going the same way and that for me was the best decsion i have made in a long time. I know i dont regret it and if i get a BRU or BRO then i know it wont be a bad thing, as now i have a life again.
Keep smiling :)

Here here CG,
A BRU/BRO is a good thing in a way as none of us wnat credit again and if we are restricted then were not tempted.
Andrew:
You will be fine, be honest thats the best way, and like we have all said "you will be ok".
Just keep us posted. :)

Morning again you 
Don't worry about the onesyou didn't keep-the OR will get what they need from the banks directly.
I see what you mean about maybe not having to present the ones from now asthey won't be outyet, but in all likelyhood the OR will see that the debt from the CC company is higher than you stated on the SoA (if it is), and ask you about it that way. If not, during interview they will definitely ask you when you last used the cards so will find out then. Sorry hon! 
As Ian says, you really will be ok. I think we may well get a BRU too, but to be honest, we're not too worried if we do. It only lengthens the restrictions (we don't want credit for a LONG time anyway!) and luckily neither of our professions are affected by BR anyway so we're in the clear there too.
Take care and keep posting!

Hi Andrew
Only if you have them. I sent mine of the OR's office when the bank issued them to me.
Dont worry if you dont have them like i have said if they want them and you dont have them as like so many of us we tend to either do the accounts on line or shred them, then the OR can request them.
Keep smiling.

Hi Andrew
The OR may well ask for the whole 12 months worth. Its is better to keep these things and then you will have them if they ask otherwise they can still get them anyhow.
Im glad that your starting to get things sorted out, what date is your hearing.
Try not too worry as life is way too short, you cant turn back the clock, just go with the flow, be honest and like we have said the worst case would be a BRU/BRO but at least you will have your life back and a DEBT FREE LIFE.
Keep smiling :)
