Yes, bankruptcy is allowed if you are unable to pay off the balance of your creditors.
Depending on your specific situation, there may only be certain types of bankruptcy that you can declare, and you ill likely have to have a portion of your monthly paycheck appropriated to pay off your debtors.
Think about this decision carefully, as it does cost a bit of money to actually declare bankruptcy, and will ruin your credit for up to 10 yrs. |

Is Bankrupcy really the only answer for you.
I got myself into a lot of troube 3 years ago and had no choice but to either get yet another loan or join a debt management company and to be honest, i don't regret my decision to join the DMC.
although it is going to take me even longer to pay off my debts, the rate per month is a figure i have agreed i can afford, and it hasn't gone too much damage to my credit rating either.
My advice is to give this ago before you get yourself into bankrupcy. |

You can go bankrupt for as little as £750, but your liabilities must be more than your assets(you have to be paying out more than your earning) why would you want to go bankrupt there are other ways to get back in control of your money. Bankruptcy will screw up your life for quite a while even though you are discharged from bankrupcy after 12 months you will have to declare it to any finance/credit company then they will charge huge amounts of interest, then you will regret trying to take the easy way out of debt. |

Yes. But some company may dismiss you if they cannot accept your condition. |

Technically you could do so while you had millions in savings and no debts... it would be a silly thing to do but you could do it. |

Yes you can, but I would not do it. If you can possibly go another route it is better for you! |

bty105692 has clearly and concisely answered this question, but I would also add that you have all credit cards taken from you and lose access to your bank accounts. If you are married your credits will persue your spouse for monies owed also. |

Yes, however you must still make payments towards your debts for the full 3 years.
On an average wage of around £1200 per month take home pay you must pay around £200 - £300 towards creditors.
You will also lose your home if owned and have to sell assets such as car etc.
You must inform anyone offering credit that you are bankrupt (if credit over £250)
This even includes BT, so you may technically have your phone service withdrawn in your name.
After the 3 years of sequestration you are automatically discharged however you may well never obtain mortgage or credit card etc again from a typical high street lender although other companys and lenders will consider you at higher rates. |
