Hi and welcome,
If you were made bankrupt then all of your debts would have been written off although you would probably have had an Income Payments agreement.
Who was it that made you bankrupt? I assume you saw the Official Receiver?

Hi
In Bankruptcy all of your assets will be required to be realised in order to pay towards the total debt, plus statutory interest, plus Bankruptcy taxes plus costs.
As you have seen this is not a small sum.
Your creditors alone were at least £26k and then there will be statutory interest calculated at 8% per year from the date of the Bankruptcy Order, together with very high taxes. If a creditor made you Bankrupt their petition costs have to be paid which are usually at least c£2k. Then the Official Receiver has to be paid. Then if a private IP was appointed as Trustee s/he has to be paid together with their legal costs and other outlays.
Did you not take advice on this before you went Bankrupt?
Do you own the property solely or jointly with another party?
Have they sent you a breakdown of the £60k you have quoted? I'd be happy to take a look at the figures/paperwork and give you further advice - feel free to contact me.
