Thanks Paul,
I have an address in the UK (my parents) and all of my creditors have this address as well as my bank account. I have completed the 'Contact Us' form on your website so hopefully I'll be able to speak to someone about this later today and see where I stand. |

Hi
If you have moved to Germany you cannot come back to the UK to petition for Br here.
You either need to have the UK as you permenant address - with a temp job in the EU - orbe living here and travelling to Germany for the job but back home at weekends etc.

Thanks for the quick responses and, as usual, this has led to more questions 
I have been living in Germany since August 2008 so the 3 year rule shouldn't be a problem but:
- Would I have to petition from Germany?
- If so would this affect my German credit rating?
- Would I still need to pay my IPA payments from a UK bank account?

Hi
it needs to be the High Court.
You also need to make sure you qualify to petition from abroad. Some EC countries require you to petition there . You also have the 3 year rule

I'm pretty sure it has to be the High Court if you are living abroad.
The glimmer gets brighter all the time

Hi,
Just a quick follow up question for someone else in the same position - would I need to petition at the High Court or would it be at the County Court where I was last resident in the UK i.e. if I was resident in Manchester and took out most/all of the loans/cards there would I still need to petition at the High Court?
Thanks |

Hi
you can petition for bankruptcy if you live abroad.
However you need to do one of the following.
1. fly back and petition yourself in the High Court
2. Prepare a Lasting Power of Attorney and have it authorised by the Office of the Public Guardian ( £150) and have a friend / relative "stand in" for you at the High Court.
3. Hire a professional company to do this for you
You also have to have been living in the UK within the last 3 years and there are some countries which you would need to petition there rather than back in the UK ( i.e. most of the EU )
