Hi GMS
On your copy fill in all your single debts and include any joint debts, on your OHs copy include all his single debts and all joint debts. There is no need for a 3rd copy just one each is enough.
So you have one and your OH has one.
You both need a copy of a statement of affairs to take to the court so one is yours one is your OHs.
So you need to fill out the form twice a set in your name and a set in his name.
Technically its one form for you and one form for him. You dont have to list all of his debts on yours only what is joint and vice versa on his. The reason you have to have one each as they dont do a joint bankruptcy they are individual.
Hope that helps

Hi GMS
When u say seen together do you mean go into the court together?
If you do then yes you should be able to see the judge together and the clerk.
When you have your interview then no they are seperate im affraid.
Hope that helps.

Hi GMS
Yes the helpline can offer verbal advice and more of it than i can, my knowledge is somewhat limited as i am also a bankrupt that has learnt from my own experience and so offer over advice on subjects that i have some knowledge on.
I would def give them a call and see if they can give you any more advice regarding the car.
Just thinking do you need it for work and also is there any finance on it. How long have you had it. I mean the newer car not your old one as the older one will more than likely be taken by the OR as it would be surplus to requirements and would benefit the estate.

Hi GMS
No that should be ok just make sure that there is only enough money to pay the DDs left in there on the day of your bankruptcy and remove the rest.
The Coop seem to leave the accounts alone and dont close them but its better to have the money to one side just in case.

It may be worth getting a free valuation on the car and see what its worth,
If you need it for the kids etc then there may be a good chance that you may be able to keep it. The OR may at there discretion offer you to buy the difference if the car is more than the allowance and then again they may be nice and say you need it so beit. But i would get the valuation done i have links in my blog and also work out that you def need it for work, school etc.

At the end of the day a car is a car. Some uninsured driver could write it off tomorrow & you'd get nothing for it. If that is the only thing holding you back then try & change your thought pattern, it's people bot things that matter & at the end of the day it is only metal!!! |
