Going to Court will be the final step of the bankruptcy process. Before calling the Court and arranging a time and date to apply for a Bankruptcy Order you first need to assess your options.

Personal bankruptcy will clear all of your current unsecured debts, but in doing so it is going to stay on your Credit Report for 6 years, which will affect your future borrowing during that timeframe. Another method of insolvency is an IVA, which might be best suited in case you have equity to protect, or a job that is excluded from bankruptcy.

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