When you have mounting debts with no prospect of paying them off, declaring bankruptcy can be an efficient way to treat the situation and provide you with a chance to have a fresh start.

Bankruptcy will clear all of your current unsecured debts, but in doing so it's going to remain on your Credit Report for 6 years, which can influence your future borrowing during that timeframe. Another method of insolvency is an IVA, which might be ideal should you have equity to protect, or a career that is excluded from personal bankruptcy.

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

For those living within Portsmouth 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.
