What is bankruptcy?
Bankruptcy is a legal status which provides a way for individuals to deal with debts that they cannot pay off, by handing over control of their assets to be distributed among those that they owe.
Individual Voluntary Arrangement
You can also seek advice from a solicitor on reaching an IVA; an agreement with your creditor to pay off your debts, or at least part of them.
Financial Disputes
If you believe you are also owed money by a person or a business, you can seek help from a legal service provider to make a claim for what you are owed.
