Hi fixie,
well done on finally completing the BR process. The OR interview really is quite straightforward, as you'll be interviewed by an examiner, who basically goes through your SOA to confirm or clarify the information you have provided in it.

When I conducted telephone interviews, the main points covered were the I&E to establish whether an IPA was viable, any assets to deal with, and as for creditors most examiners will understand that in the years leading up to bankruptcy, any credit use is for day to day living expenses and not to finance a lavish lifestyle. Why the examiner asked Glafy in a previous post about a loan from 2001 is a mystery, as anything from then would be very stale.

So hope the interview goes well!

Insolvency examiner with the Insolvency service from April 2008 - July 2010.

If you need help completing SOA's(statement of affairs) or PIQ's(preliminary information questionnaire) if you've been declared bankrupt, or anything else and you're within 30 miles or so of Warrington, then please contact me via my contact details in the expert page for futher details"

Had the telephone interview, it was much less than the inquisition that I thought it would be, essentially the examiner just wanted to know why I thought I got into the situation, ultimately it boiled down to borrowing beyond means.

He was very helpful and answered my questions which outnumbered his.
Looks like there is not going to be an IPA/IPO and he talked of early discharge to in 6 months, and to call them if we hear nothing.
Was advised that unless overtime is constant and considerable that the odd bit here & there would be of no interest to them, so I should be able to provide a pram for our new child due in August, I might even be nearing ED by then.

The house is safe too for the moment and even in 2 years or so we would get the option of buying back the interest if there was equity.

A massive MASSIVE M-A-S-S-I-V-E relief was felt, and I feel now that I can start to rebuild our lives.

A big thanks to all on here who advised and contributed, a heartfelt thanks to you all, I'll keep you posted on progress, but for now I think I can see that someone has switched on a light at the end of the tunnel.

Hopefully my mood will lighted now and start to unwind somewhat, and be a little easier to be around.

Mrs Fixie had her call on Thursday last.

She is so relieved now that is over.

Today for the first day in I do not know how long, I have relaxed and have been happy.

I cannot stress enough to folks who read this that if you are in doubt that life does not get better after BR, believe me it so so SO does. Everything is put in perspective.

We really do feel that there has been a renaissance and that we are now embarking on the rest of our life together as a family.

Next up we are going to get married and look forward to our new child due late summer.

BR is a positive way forward, it really is.

Thank you all.
