Going to Court is the final step of the bankruptcy process. Before contacting the Court and arranging a time and date to apply for a Bankruptcy Order you first need to consider your plan of action.

Personal bankruptcy will clear all of your unsecured debts, but in doing so it's going to stay on your Credit History for six years, which will affect your future borrowing during that timeframe. Another method of insolvency is an IVA, which could be suitable should you have equity to protect, or a career that is excluded from bankruptcy.

If personal bankruptcy is the solution you're looking for, then the appropriate paperwork will eventually be filed at your local County Court.
