bringer of bad news
went to court today and been informed by the clerk that they have had formal notification of increase in Bankruptcy petition fees.
as from 04th April 2011 to petition at county court will now cost 150 court fees (no change) plus 475 official receiver deposit.
so new court fees are 625.
uncertain if same change at High Court.
guys if you are sitting around and know that you have to go BR but waiting for the right time, save yourself some of the money , speak to one of the experts and get to court asap

to The Civil Proceedings Fees (Amendment) Order 2011 which effets the changes

if it is increase in court fee that would make it more important to speak to the clerk before and have court fee redemption form submitted in correct time frame, suprisingly process changes from court to court

To be honest I thought it was going to be worse than that but it's still a lot of money.
