on 9/23/2009 I found an alternative to bankruptcy in the form of an IVA. the benefits of this procedure far outweighed the benefits of filing bankruptcy. I was lucky i came across it too as i was actually searching online and about to file bankruptcy when i cam across www.applybankruptcy.co.uk. I filled in my details and soon after received a call from a lady working within the insolvency practitioners. They dealt with everything for me. I must say it is a massive weight off my shoulders. Looking forward to being debt free!!!
