Something I didn't know

Most people are aware that if your circumstances should alter for better or worse during your period of bankruptcy, you are legally as well as duty bound to tell the Insolvency Service.

In November I managed to get a job, taking me off unemployment. It's not that well paid a job, but a few days after informing the Official Receiver, I received a questionnaire where I had to break down all my household outgoings. I posted it back and have been told I must now pay £ 50.00 a month for 36 months.

Of course this takes us past my discharge date, which could be as early as February 2007, but it states clearly in the order that the installments must be paid even after a discharge.

So, bankruptcy doesn't exactly wipe the slate clean as most people believe.
