i love my sister so much and am trying to help her out!
she has genuinely done everything to repay her debts but has just about reached the point where she can't do it any more and is probably going bankrupt. she owes now about £18500 in the uk. her bank account is still in the uk.
she doesn't work at the moment but her husband does. she has lived in croatia for the past 3 years. although she was born in london she has croatian citizenship through our parents.
can somebody please answer the following:
1.. will she be able to go bankrupt in the uk? 2.. if so, does she have to come back to the uk to do this? 3.. can the official receiver take their home in croatia - it is worth about euros 20000, maybe euros 25000 at the most? 4.. if the official receiver can do this - will they have to go through uk or croatian courts to force a sale? 5.. if he can do this, is the official likely to pursue the house through the courts being as it's worth so little? 6.. would a croatian court be likely to favour my sister's position since they would be homeless if they lost their house?
please give me your best advice cos it's killing me to hear her so miserable when we speak on the phone.
The best advice I can give you here is to click on experts on the left hand side and give Paul Johns at Reviva an email/call - he has helped out many individuals overseas, and he come highly recommended
