costs about 400 quid and he has to prove hes payments can not be paied off ect,,,, not that hard tbh and a hell of a lot easier than having the balifs knocking on the door,,,,,,, just open a account for him in you name cause he wont be able to have one soon
he wlll not be allowed to own anythign of value too for a few years
BUT companys frown less upon that then him being defaulted with a CCJ belive it or not

Depends who he owes the money to mate.........If you go personally bankrupt and you have not been Fraudulent or reckless with the money,you will generally be discharged and back to some of normality in about 12 months.........
However if you owe the money to banks,cc companies etc and they can prove you have been reckless with there money and not just got in the shit because of other circumstances the bankruptcy can last as much as 15 years...
Obviously all cases are individual so i would recommend he seeks professional advice immediately.........

they will look at his spending as if hes got loads of loans ect they wanna know where its gone ect
do not lie to the court too, they usually quite sympathetic anyway so no need to lie,,,,,,,, paying family off aint a valid reason if he owes the tax man ect cash
seek pro advice though, start with CAB and get into contact with pros

greg get advice mate as if you are struggling to pay it off then its deffo a solution
you think anyone here witha business would noit file for bankrupcy rather than work for 50 quid a week for the next 5 years or so
get advice, i had about 20k in debt and i battled to pay it off as i was told by my dad to " do the right thing"
what a load of bollocks that was,,,,,,,, even though it was payed off in 2 years i STILL was black listed,,,,,,,,, wouldnt have changed if i filed bankrupct apart from i wouldnt have had 2 years of living on fook all and working 55 hours a week to pay off a debt for a flat that i no longer was alowed to live in
the companys also fucking LIE to you and scare you saying they will reposess things that are your parents to pay the debt off even though they fucking cant

doing that though actually screws your credit rating anyway so there aint much point IMO
would be a better choice going bankrupt as they would have NO problems reposessing your house ect

i was watching "bank of mum and dad" the other day and this guy owed over 100k and wanted to go bankrupt. His accountant said that if his credit card statement etc showed he spent the money here there and everywhere ie:clubs,shopping etc then he may not be able to get credit for up to 15 years!! so he ended up selling his clothes,car and house to avoid that!
so i wouldn't go bankrupt unless you REALLY had to. He'll have to sell his cars and everything before considering that - i would.

only loan/debt i have is student loan which by the time my degree finishes will be colossal....that and what i owe my parents
my uncle is a solicitor and works alot with bankrupcy cases, i read a book he gave me once about fighting debt etc and it had loads of little tricks to get out of trouble.....
1st was to send a monthly cheque payment for a debt and write on the back 'Final Payment'. If it isn't queried and they cash it the debt is technically written off. Try this across the board to everyone he owes he's bound to get lucky with a couple....
i'll fish out the book for some more help, basically uses our so called rights to find loopholes.
