Attending Court is the final step of the bankruptcy process. Before speaking to the Court and organising a time and date to apply for a Bankruptcy Order you first need to weigh up your options.

Bankruptcy will clear all of your unsecured debts, but in doing so it's going to stay on your Credit File for 6 years, which can impact your future borrowing during that timeframe. Another type of insolvency is an IVA, which often can be best suited for people who have equity to protect, or a career which is excluded from bankruptcy.

If bankruptcy is the solution you're looking for, then the appropriate documentation will eventually be submitted to your local County Court.

For those living within Burton-upon-Trent we have included the court details below. You only need to contact the court if you already have everything prepared, including your Statement of Affairs and Debtor's Petition, and you are ready to finalise the Bankruptcy Order.
