Attending Court is the final step of the bankruptcy process. Prior to speaking to the Court and organising a time and date to apply for a Bankruptcy Order you first need to think about your options.

Personal bankruptcy will clear all of your unsecured debts, but in doing so it will stay on your Credit Report for six years, which will have an effect on your future borrowing during that timeframe. An alternative method of insolvency is an IVA, which often can be ideal in case you have equity to protect, or a profession that is excluded from personal bankruptcy.

If personal bankruptcy certainly is the answer you're looking for, then the required documentation will eventually be filed at your local County Court.

For those living within Barnsley we have included the court details below. You only need to contact the court if you already have everything prepared, including your Statement of Affairs and Debtor's Petition, and you are ready to finalise the Bankruptcy Order.
