It could be that bankruptcy is the most suitable debt solution for you.
You may hear that bankruptcy should be considered a last resort, and that you should try an IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement), IPP (Informal Payment Plan) or DMP (Debt Management Plan) first, but this isn't always suitable. What's right for you depends entirely on your circumstances as these are all solutions to the same problem, but tackled differently.
You may find that you would benefit from professional help in completing your Statement of Affairs and Bankruptcy Petition.
From the time that you decide to apply for a bankruptcy order, to the day that you are declared bankrupt, you may seek assistance in order to keep your creditors and bailiffs at bay. In addition, performing your own research into bankruptcy often results in receiving conflicting information, depending on the source(s).
Personal bankruptcy for Scottish residents is called Sequestration.
To be sequestrated you must owe at least £1,500 and either: one or more of your creditors must have taken you to court to enforce or demand you repay a debt or you must have been on a debt payment programme under DAS that has been revoked and one of the creditors in the DPP have been to court and obtained a decree on one of the debts.
You are immediately free from debt and will not be responsible for any of your pre-existing debts.
It is a fresh start for you and your family to start again and build yourself up from a position of strength. You are immediately protected from all your creditors who form part of your bankruptcy.
