Sundry debt collection and bankruptcy

​We can apply to the court to petition for you to be made bankrupt if your debt is more than £5,000. 

Bankruptcy is a serious matter. If you become bankrupt:

  • you will have to give up any possessions of value and interest in your home

  • your credit rating will be affected

  • you will find it hard to get a loan or credit cards

  • any business that you run will almost certainly be closed, and your

  • employees will be dismissed

  • certain restrictions will be imposed on you.
