Hi Beverley and welcome to the forum.
As long as it's an unsecured debt and not as a court fine, it should be written off in your BR.

Hi Beverley
The benefit money is a provable debt in bankrutpcy. However, if you continue to receive benefits, they will deduct this debt from future benefit monies.

I take it this is different to overpaid tax credits because I was advised that these will be written off, they will continue to make the deductions for the remainder of this tax year only.

Overpaid tax credit should be included as a creditor in the bankruptcy, and should not affect future credits due.
