Posted - 01 September 2009 : 11:34:14 Hi,
I am 3 months into an IVA, and have now decided that I would like to apply for bankruptcy as I have no assets. How can I apply for bankruptcy, will I have to default on the IVA and will the court let me go bankrupt having a failed IVA

To go bankrupt will cost you £510 in court fees and the court will let you go bankrupt. A lot of people have had failed IVA's.
You can fill the forms in yourself online via this link:
It is perhaps worth checking with your local court as to whether it is just a walk in one, or if you have to make an appointment.
Try and sort things out with your IVA company first though.
The glimmer gets brighter all the time

If you did decide to declare BR you would need to let the IVA fail, which would mean not making 3 payments. You would get a certificate from your IP to say that the IVA has failed and then you could declare BR.
I would strongly recommend speaking to your IP before doing anything as you thought that an IVA was your best option a short while ago.
