I lost my business and was made bankrupt on 9th April 2008. I need to start again and don't know how. I understood that I would be discharged after12 months and despite telephoneing the Trustee can't get a definate answer. I had a letter today saying there would be a creditor meeting on 9th Feb. What does that mean? I went bankrupt owing less than £50,000. I am 57 years old and have a small occupational pension (£500) and am totally dependant for somewhere to live on my boyfriend. Relly need to know where I stand and how to go forward financialy. Would be very grateful for your advice.

hi patricia

this is the Insolvency register find your name, and click on it to go into your file. You can see your details. If you are not their then that usually means that you have been discharged

A creditor meeting is normally associated with an IVA and not BR. If you were declared BR then you should have been discharged 1 yr later on the 9th April 2009. The Insolvency Register link that debtinfo provided will let you know the situation.

Have a look and let us know if you are listed on the Register.
