Hi Callum,

Do you have any other debts?

If your debts are under £15k, you have no means of repaying them and you have no assets, then you may qualify for the debt relief order.

I suggest you make an apointment with a money advisor at your local CAB and they can go through your situation to see what's best.

Hi Callum

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.

Hi Callum, and welcome.

As has been said, first port of call is probably your local CAB who will be able to advise and assist you with your next steps forward.
