can one of the experts clear something up for me? i have seen on here, multiple figures for cars to be exempt from br, for instance.....i was told when i was first on here that we would be allowed to keep the car if it was valued under 3k......now, ive just read a post from paul johns stating that "if the cars valued at £1500-£2000 the or will show no interest" what is the official figure??
I know what your saying that there is no consistency on this but i do think that it is down to the OR at the time.
As you are aware they have their guidelines and i think its down to needs and how they feel at the time.
I would not worry though, get a valuation yourself and include in the paperwork that the OR requests.
Take care

For more info on how i have come through bankruptcy and for links to help, you can read my blog here called: Needafriend's Info on Bankruptcy :-) http://debtfreejo.blogs.bankruptcyhelp.org.uk/ Needafriend says: Live life to the full, take life by the horns and live a little, otherwise life would be so boring!
The guidelines suggest a car - if needed for work and assuming work couldn't be reached by other means - woulc be considered for exemption from bankruptcy on an individual basis.
The figue as I understand it is 1500. However there are natural variations in car prices around the country and different Official Receivers offices will view these differently.
From experience I have not had a car totally exempted over £2000 in value, so if it is worth more there is usually some negotiation to be done.
I would suggest you call the local OR's office and ask them their policy. They will not comment on individual circumstances but had asnwered the question to me several times
