When you have mounting debts with no prospect of paying them off, declaring bankruptcy is often an effective way to remedy the situation and provide you with an opportunity to have a fresh start.

Bankruptcy will clear all of your current unsecured debts, but in doing so it will remain on your Credit File for 6 years, which can have an impact on your future borrowing during that timeframe. An alternative form of insolvency is an IVA, which might be best suited in case you have equity to protect, or a profession which is excluded from personal bankruptcy.

If personal bankruptcy certainly is the answer you're looking for, then the appropriate paperwork will eventually be filed at your local County Court.
