I was resigned to accept it, but on other forums people have suggested that they may not want to spend any more money on the case and so have offered a BRU, and that if I fight it - I may not automatically get a BRO (or a submission for one to court). I have been advised that BROs for gambling are actually not clear cut and are not necessarily automatic. Just wondering if I should stretch it out somewhat, or try to dispute it as I did manage to pay back 20K of 76K in a DMP, did go to the GP and get put on Diazepam (not repeat, just once) - have not gambled since for 3 years....and only went BR after creditors refused to freeze interest and refused final offers of 75p in pound (from family members). Doctor has screwed me over, saying "no evidence of compulsive behaviour", but I would ask why he would make me an appt to see a cognitive behavioural specialist if this was not the case. I would also question a statement in the BRU, that states that after gambling 60K previoulsy (which I cleared with my half of equity), I then went on to gamble again - so must have known the risks. I would say that that is evidence itself of compulsive behaviour. To have gambled your house away, to know full well the risks and dangers, and then to carry on an do it all again. Also I don't know if they can mention my previous experience of gambling. After all, I paid this off with my own assets and so what has this got to do with the BRU or my BR? Any advice appreciated. I have accepted I should get one, but now am wondering if this is the case. Regards i [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature. Check here to subscribe to this topic.
