Hello, Im 22 and have over 9k of debt. me and my boyfriend rent our house and have a 6 month old daughter. My partner works full time and helps me pay my debts each month but now with the baby its getting tight. I get child tax credit and child benefit each month upto £250. If i went bankrupt would i not get my benefits anymore? and what would happen exactly?

Yes as viki says have a look at a DRO. Just to confirm that neither bankruptcy or a DRO should effect your entitlement to benefits

Hi Eloise,

Do you have an income from a job?

It sounds like you may qualify for the debt relief order, so you wouldn't need bankruptcy.

I advise you make an appointment with a money advisor at your local CAB to apply for the DRO.
