Well, thats it folks, got my bankruptcy order this morning, half an hour including waiting time and the judge was really nice. Having 666 as the order no. was about par for the course mind :( It felt very odd when I came out, an odd mixture of relief, shame and not happiness exactly but something close. Just got to wait for the OR to get in touch now. I don't think I will be making them too busy selling assets somehow, not lest they count a £200 Nissan Micra with stickers of Daisies and Bees covering up the dents and scratches.(a lot of daisies and bees)Any advice of what I can expect gratefully received. Bank accounts all closed except for my new Barclays basic one that has benefits, there's a misnomer if ever there was one, paid into it. Do you think they will freeze that or let me keep it.
cheers
Janey Half Way There. |

Glad it's over and done with Janey.
Hopefully your Barclays account won't be frozen but if it the OR will tell Barclays they have no interest in it and Barclays should then 'unfreeze' it.

Thanks Viki
keep finding myself stopping to take deep breaths this afternoon. After 3 years of bad happenings, death, grief, redundancy and despair am beginning to realise that there will one day be an end to it. It's an amazing knowledge and if people get bored with me saying thanks to everyone here then tough, I just wish I had found this website earlier.
THANKS

All the best from me Janey.
It seems a massive step doesn't it but what a relief when it's done.
Onward & Upward.

| Thank you, All night I have been repeating to myself "I'm bankrupt, I am bankrupt, it's nearly over, etc but I think I am still only partly absorbing it, very odd. Oh yes, sorry Richard P, in answer to your question. I arrived at the court at 9.45, handed over £700 and swore, yes, the loss of the money and the bible bit, and by 10.15 I was standing outside clutching my bit of paper. Wicked. |

Yep, no tea no biscuits or cuddle but he was very kind and he did chuckle when I told him about the ominous 666; he also said he didn't think there was going to be a problem, devils number or otherwise which was sweet of him. Tell you what I did find out from the clerk I first saw though I don't know if it is just Norwich Court it applies to. The court states that bankruptcy cases can be seen between 9.00 and 11.00. However he leaned forward and said very quietly, "Im not supposed to tell you this but if you arrive after 11.00 and insist that we deal with it today then we have to" Hope that helps someone. The other nice thing that happened today was when I went to my post box and knew that anything nasty in there could not harm me or send me spiraling into despair so I hope the thought of that helps someone also because it's priceless. The OR called me this afternoon and I am speaking to her at 12.00 tomorrow so things are moving pretty swiftly.

You sound as though a weight has been lifted from your shoulders - much more positive.
Hope the OR interview goes ok.

POSITIVE. That is exactly how I feel. I thought it would be a giant fanfare, ta daaaaaaaaaa sort of thing but it is just a pleasant relaxing of 3 years of knotted muscles and screwed up brain that is creeping over me hourly. So hard to explain without sounding ridiculous. Am slightly worried about the call tomorrow but don't know why as everything is laid out in black and white and she sounded very nice. If anyone reading this is at the begining then take heart,be brave and go for it. It's just amazing.
Janey Almost There.
