Can I Be Chased For A Debt After Going Bankrupt?
I went bankrupt Dec 2008 which was discharged July 2009.
Yourquestion: I received a letter from a solicitors saying the bank I owed money to in the bankruptcy had been sold to a collection agency. It said the letter was not asking for payment but they would be contacting my supervisor (don't know who or what that is!) . Will they try to reclaim the money from this debt? If so, what is the point of bankruptcy if someone is going to hound me for the money? Please clarify if they are likely to try and get the money from me now. Thanks

Do I Owe A Creditor If I Forgot To Include Them?
I have been discharged from bankruptcy, but a creditor has come forward afterwards who I failed to tell the OR about and his claim was not included in my list of debts. Do I still owe the money and can he make me bankrupt again as he is threatening to do?

If you have a serious debt problem, bankruptcy can free you from your debts within 12 months. As a solution for dealing with serious debt, bankruptcy is a last resort. Other debt solutions need to be explored first, to help determine if bankruptcy is the right debt solution for you.
Your financial affairs are put into the hands of an Official Receiver or Trustee, who will control all your assets - and if you own a property, this will also be included. These will be sold and the money used to pay as much as possible to your creditors.
There are consequences to bankruptcy which will affect your finances and work life. You may struggle to borrow money, for example, and will not be able to apply for certain jobs.
For some, bankruptcy is the right option and will put an end to pressure from creditors. Our team of experts are on hand to advise on the best solution to your debt problems - call now on 0800 002 9951.
