How long does Bankruptcy last for?

Your bankruptcy will normally last the standard duration of 12 months. In 2004 the laws were changed regarding bankruptcy, reducing the term to 12 months where previously the minimum term was 3 years.

 

In many cases people can be discharged from bankruptcy after 6-9 months-this is known as an early discharge from bankruptcy. This will only happen if the Official Receiver has completed their investigation into the circumstances relating to your bankruptcy.

Can I have a bank account while I am bankrupt?

You can have a bank account while you are bankrupt and this is something we will make sure of. This is an essential facility that everyone is entitled to and it is a common misconception that you cannot hold a bank account while bankrupt.

 

You can also hold a pre-paid MasterCard (APS CashPlus)while you are bankrupt. This is a very useful card to have as it does not allow you to go into debt but gives you the facility of a MasterCard to use for various reasons such as online purchases, car hire, shopping and holidays.

Will I lose my property and car if I go bankrupt?

Another misconception is that you will lose your property and car. In situations where you have a property you must get specialist advice. In many cases you can retain your property and your car-it is all dependent on value and equity.

 

In many cases the Official Receiver will allow the person that has been declared bankrupt to keep or re-purchase their asset. We have dealt with many bankruptcies where people have retained their property and paid a token payment of £1 to remain in their house, flat or bungalow.

 

Alternatively it may be better to hand your property back as part of the bankruptcy. When property is involved it is essential to take professional advice-contact us now to discuss your situation.
