I agree with Viki. If your disposable income (the amount you can afford to pay your creditors after your living expenses have been paid) is less than £50 a month then a better option for you would be a debt relief order as it will only cost £90 compared to the possible £700 bankruptcy fee. You should take some time to find out more about this option before deciding on the bankruptcy route.
