no, dont be confused though some people have assets that are not worth anything, such aa a property in negative equity, which will go to RTLU to be dealt with, but if you have no assets at all tou should stay with the OR |

Your case will also be passed to the RTLU if you are paying into an IPA.

It shouldnt be, but i suppose it is possible at the moment, there is nothing legally to stop it as it is all the insolvency service |

Hi it may depend on the sum of money realised by the property sale and the sum paid in VAT. Other factors may include the total number of creditors involved as this will impact on the amount of administrative work needed to resolve the preferred payment.
It's not beyond the realms of possibility, although perhaps unlikely, that a private sector trustee could be appointed if the sum involved is large enough. Whosoever deals with this issue should make no difference to you personally as the monies realised is, of course, part of your estate and thus lost in bankruptcy.

Hi my guess is the OR will deal with it as a) the preferred payee will not put up too much of a fight to retain the £20 b) the reclaimed sum will ensure the OR covers all costs relating to your case prior to dispersal of the balance as part of your estate.
However, yet another factor will be the workload of the particular OR's office at this time.

Hi Oh is see, well if already with RTLU the they will likely deal with it, if they don't then they are clearly failing in their duty to ensure ALL creditors are in receipt of the correct pro rata payment from your estate. Although perfectly innocently carried out at the time, the fact that the VAT payment was made within 2 years of the date of bankruptcy makes it a preferred payment which should be reclaimed and dispersed pro rata.

They will not reclaim the money as as a preference only applies for 6 months prior to the bankruptcy for a non associate, not 2 years |

Hi m88 debtinfo makes a valid point. As the preferential payment was made to a non associate it is not likely to be investigated as a 6 month time limit immediately prior to bankruptcy applies whereas a the time limit is 2 years if the alleged preferred payment is made to an associate.
That said, I'm not sure the differentiation should apply.
Additionally there is case precedent to suggest that where the recipient is an associate the onus is on the trustee to prove the recipient was aware of the potential bankruptcy of the payee for the payment to be deemed by the court as preferential.
