My husband and I will be automatically discharged from bankruptcy on the 11th November. In the meantime I have been diagnosed with Cancer. I am currently off work and my pay drops next month to half pay. We both have an IPO, mine for £240 and my husbands for £100. We have only just paid under a year of this and it needs to be paid for 3 years, but there is no way we will be able to pay it while my pay is half. I am a teacher and the highest earner. I want to inform the OR straightaway, however my husband thinks we should leave it till we are no longer bankrupt, as otherwise they may increase our bankruptcy to longer. Are they allowed to do this? I am scared of doing this, as the payments go out on the 14th of the month for the IPO and I will not be able to cancel it in time if I wait until after we are not bankrupt on the 11th. Any advice would be welcome. Hope this makes sense. [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature. Check here to subscribe to this topic.
