Since my separation I have been receiving benefits, and most of the money is going towards paying creditors which add to over 15,000.00. I am really stragelling and find not way out. Is any way I can apply for Bankruuptcy? your help will be very much appreciated. |

Hi
if you cannot afford the repayments then bankruptcy is one solution. As of last week there is a new option available called a Debt Relief Order.
It works pretty much the same as bankruptcy except you do not go to court and you do not see the Official Receiver to discuss your case.
However, to qualify your debts must be less than £15K, you must have no assets and your monthly disposable income must be a maximum £50.
I would arrange an appointment with your local CAB office to see how to reduce your debt below the £15K limit and to discuss with them if it is your best option.
