Bankruptcy is a way of legally declaring your inability to pay your creditors. You can petition for your own bankruptcy or a creditor who you owe more than £750 can petition for your bankruptcy.
It costs around £150 court fee* (which could be waived if you are on income support) and around £317 administration fee* in the UK. You can contact your local court office by calling the Court Enquiries line on 0207 210 2266 or by looking under "court" in your local phonebook. You will need to speak to the bankruptcy clerk and ask them to send out the forms for you to fill out.

Administration Order
An Administration order is for debts of less than £5,000. It is imposed and administered through your county court. Under the administration order you make regular monthly payments to the court who will then distribute this money to your creditors. The court will also take some of this money towards their own costs.
If you would like to ask us any questions about Administration orders you can contact us and we will be happy to advise you. Alternatively, fill out this form or call our freephone on 0800 043 3328
Debt Consolidation
A debt can be consolidated into one monthly payment by taking out a personal or secured loan or by remortgaging your property. The idea behind debt consolidation is that you use this loan to pay off all your other debts and are left with one monthly payment.
A debt consolidation is not usually advised for large debts as it can just put you into the same or even worse position. For large debts an IVA, Debt Management Plan or Trust Deed may be your best solution.
