A real fresh start for debts that will never be repaid
We offer a Bankruptcy Form Completion service from £150 per person
Bankruptcy is a way of legally declaring your inability to pay your creditors. You can petition for your own bankruptcy or a creditor who you owe more than £750 can petition for your bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is an option that often has to be considered when an individual cannot pay their debts as they fall due.
When your debts seem totally out of control, so much so that you will never pay them off, bankruptcy can take away all the stress of making debt payments.
Although bankruptcy has a perceived stigma and is publicly advertised, it should always be considered when dealing with insolvency matters.
We now also provide a Bankruptcy Form Completion service. Bankruptcy papers can be quire daunting for some people as they can be over 40 pages long. If you would like to talk to us about going bankrupt just call 0800 043 5135 or use the form below.

If your debts are serious enough that you are considering the prospect of going bankrupt, you need to be aware that there are charges for declaring yourself bankrupt. These being a £150 court fee and a £450 to help meet the costs of the Official Receiver. This could mean total costs of £600 which you are legally bound to meet yourself.
If you are on means-tested benefits, then you will be exempt only from the court costs of £150. This is another reason why it's so important that you get debt help and consider all other possible debt solutions such as an IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) first.
