i am in receite off income support, i am wondering how much help i would recive with the cost for bankcruptcy also the debts are in my maiden name so would my married name or my husband be affected
As you are in receipt of income support, you will only need to pay £360 as the Official receiver's fee. You will apply for remission of your fees using court form EX160. As the debts are your in your maiden name no-one else is affected. Your bankruptcy will not be advertised I suspect and so no-one will know. You don't say how much your debts are. If they are less than £15k you may wish to consider a debt relief order, which will cost you about £90.
Your husband would not be affected by your BR unless any of the debts were joint. How long have you been married? I am not too sure about your debts being in your maiden name as there is probably some legal period in which you should have informed your creditors about your change in name.
