Should I go bankrupt?

Re: Should I go bankrupt?

...with a little help from other sources as well...

Absolutely. I only wanted to make the point that Jon was not under any pressure to switch from the UE route to BR. He had been contemplating the option since he started this thread months ago and his circumstances were different to others. He simply made an informed decision. My personal UE journey is going like clockwork thanks to AAD

Re: Should I go bankrupt?

Ok so for tomorrow I am calling
Severn Trent
Eon
The charity that run some of the energy trusts
Call DWP to have my benefit paid a different way next time

This is more of a list for me than anyone else
I have an advisor who will sign the forms for me if needed

Here's another one you could call which manages grant applications for a number of energy companies up and down the country:

What a lot of people don't know is that there is money available to pay BR fees. But also that these charities, backed by the energy companies, will fund people's utility bills which have been rocketing in recent years thanks to greed by the energy giants

You don't need to be a BR to get your hands on some of this money. Anyone in debt and on benefits can apply. But if you've got any current oustanding energy bills Jon why not get them paid off too since you're getting so organised

So from another thread..who needs drugs ..I am feeling good

That's the general idea

You're back in the driving seat

This is entirely your decision based on extensive research by your PA

Re: Should I go bankrupt?

Just how old do you think i am, much older than you i'll bet!
I can remember the good old giro that arrived and then you found it was for the wrong P.O
Hopefully a giro for one week should be ok, just need to beat the cut off points for payments.

My tastes have moved on since Tesco started doing two bottles of fruit vodka for £23 BUT IF £2.29 is all you can spare then so be it, I ain't fussy.

Hopefully my co op account will be running in a week

Re: Should I go bankrupt?

Thanks Phil, things seem to have gathered pace over the last few days, I took my ID into the Coop yesterday and found out all this as well today.
Oh yes also got my HB paid by cheque next week so it needn't go into my old bank

Ok so for tomorrow I am calling
Severn Trent
Eon
The charity that run some of the energy trusts
Call DWP to have my benefit paid a different way next time
This is more of a list for me than anyone else
I have an advisor who will sign the forms for me if needed

Now who wants to lend me some money before I go BR

Not that I would of course as that would be dishonest.

So from another thread..who needs drugs ..I am feeling good

So pleased things are moving now for you Jon

Re: Should I go bankrupt?

Relax! Everything is going well: you have an appointment, you will get a grant, your ex won't have to give the money back…

If you had carried on with UE you'd be looking at 6 years so 6 days or even 6 weeks isn't long is it?

You know what i am like

I feel that I have a very productive day, found out a lot and made some positive steps

Now just my people pleasing kicks in, but thats another story.
Tomorrow I am going to call Eon and fill in some other grant forms.

I know which court, Coventry and I need to make an appointment but not a long wait

I am a good enough person for Elizabeth Finn Trust to consider, so that is being sorted as we speak .

I have an appointment in Birmingham for legal advice on 10/7 however just spoken to a guy on the community legal team (Dawn Advice Ltd) who is sending me Severn Trent app forms and has pretty much said that as I haven't tried to defraud my creditors by giving the ex her half of the equity it will be OK.

My new bank account is in the process of being opened

All in all it seems to be going to plan

Re: Should I go bankrupt?

I have emailed Coventry law centre asking for advice/appointment etc.
Lets see what they have to say
