I'm very worried my debt is not large enough to go bankrupt, especially looking at some of the amounts posted on here.

Both my wife and i would go bankrupt, are income and expenditure are;

My income; £1055

My Wife; £820-900

Expenditure (joint)(monthly)

Mortgage - £405 (owe 91-94k)
Homeowner loan - £260 (owe 29-30k)
Personal loan - £150 (owe - 7.5-8k)
Credit card(not sure if in joint names) - min £120 (balance £5700)
Home insurance - £28
Water - £28
Council tax - 12 x £80
Gas/Electric - £90
Tv licence - £12
Sky - £37
Home phone - £30
Broadband - £17
Life Insurance - £16


My personal expenditure (monthly)

Gym (can't cancel) - £12
Car insurance - £30
Meals at work - £40
Personal loan - £58 - (owe 2k)
Overdraft charges/interest - £20(owe 2 x 1.8k overdrafts)
Petrol - £80
Mobile phone - £55


My wife's expenditure (monthly)

Overdraft charges/interest - £5 (owe £500)
Car insurance - £48
Gym - £12 (can't cancel)
Mobile Phone - £45


Then on top of this we have food, toiletries, hair cuts, going out, car tax, car maintainence etc. I'd like to know what is allowed for these and if anyone can add them to my figures and let me know if they think we will both be able to go bankrupt.

Thank you.

Hi Baxi

As long as your insolvent (Not enough money to pay the creditors) then there should be no reason why the court/judge wont grant you your bankruptcy.

I too had that thought right up until the actual day, but it all went nice and smoothly and it has been 5 months now.

Best of luck
