Can I just ask two more questions:
1)If the BR is successful, who informs the creditors that I am bankcrupt? Me or the courts and how long will it take for them to find out.
2)I know that my name will be published in the London paper(s). Which one(s) are they and how soon after the BR will it be in?
Many thanks! |

Sorry there is a third question!
We have a guarantor on our rented flat, because when we moved in the credit search brought up a CCJ in my husbands name. A CCJ which he pays monthly with the courts autorisation.
If I go through BR, will this jepardise our tenacy? We have never been in arrears with the rent. We are great tennants.
But, we know our landlord has a mortgage for the flat we rent. Our rent pays his mortgage. Will his mortgage be affected if I become bankrupt? Will he be told to end out tenancy if the mortgage company finds out one of his tenants has become insolvent?
We can't loose this flat.
Please help. |

Hi
Informing the creditors is the responsibility of the Official receivers Office, Hiwever for instant peace from creditor calls / letters etc all you need to do is either photocopy the Bankrptcy order and post to each creditor, OR you could phone them up and give them the Br number ( XXXX of 2008 in the Royal Courts of Justice)

Hi Zchr1,
1. The OR will inform your creditors of the BR 2. The London Gazette and the Stubbs Gazette within the week
3. firstly if your husband goes BR he will no longer have to pay the ccj through the courts.
4.As you already have a guarantor it will not affect the tenancy in anyway, and it will not affect your landlord in anyway.
Hope this sets you mind at ease.

Hi
couple of things
1. The payments each month for the CCJ needs to be included in the Br and payments stopped as all debts prior to the Br ( excluding Magistrate Court Fines & Student Loan) get dealt with through the Br.
2. Worth discussing with Landlord and check your tennancy agreement. Might be good to remind the landlord that now you don't have any debts your ability to pay the rent on time is now v good. The OR will probably ask for a copy of your rental agreement and possibly won't speak to the landlord, however it is always good to be upfront.
Good luck

That's great thanks for your help. I am popping down to see my HR department this afternoon, to ask them the companys stance on BR for someone in my position. I thought I would be easy, but I have no idea what to say or where to start without feeling shameful! |

Hi zchr1,
Why don't you call them anonymously and ask their position this might save any shame. You don't have to tell them it's you and if it's a large company you will find they have dealt with these matters before, you are not alone and more than likely won't be the first person to have had to ask them this question.
Good luck

Check the terms of your tenancy to make sure that it does not automatically terminate upon the making of a bankruptcy order. Some do, and if this is the case, a guarantor will be of little use if the landlord wants you to vacate. |
