I am a mature student, living as a council tennant with my partner and 2 dependant children. My only income is from the Student loans Co. (I have receive a loan and 2 grants) and I am currently waiting to hear about an application for Carers Allowance, as my partner is disabled receiving DLA Care Component (middle rate). I am already in default to Capital One credit card, owing them £7000. I do not have any assets (ie a car, savings or property). Can I file for bankruptcy, and how much would it be likely to cost me? Would I still be able to keep my student current account with the Halifax plc. Thanks, Lee
Hi and welcome to the forum With only owing £7000 you would potentially be eligible for a DRO debt relief order, they are like a mini bankruptcy, handled by the CAB and a couple of other associations.

Don't worry or know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum.(Baz Lurman) RevivaUK helped me through it all i can't recommend them enough!!
