There are 2 ways of being eligible for BR - either you have to have more going out than coming in each month, or your total assets have to be worth less than your total debts.

I wasn't in arrears or unemployed when we went BR last year but our total debt far exceeded the value of our assets. My income covered outgoings not including debt repayment (and came nowhere close when it was included).

Hi Kim221183

Just because you are in arrears or unemployed doesn’t mean you have to go bankrupt.

You can go bankrupt if your debts are £750 or more and you cannot afford to pay them.

Basically if you have debts of £750 or more, have no job, are in arrears and no assets than bankruptcy as to be an option.

Get some professional advice if you are in debt and cannot afford to pay them.
