Hello,
I hope somebody can put my mind at ease and help me !
I filed for Bankruptcy in Scotland and the AIB recieved the forms on the 5th Sept.
On the 9th I recieved the statutory declaration form to declare that I was on benefits/low income, had no assets over £1000 and no property etc.
This was returned to them the same day.
I have since heard nothing from the AIB but am aware that it can take up to 3 weeks in Scotland for the process to be completed.
However, this morning I recieved a letter from Sherrif Officers stating that they would be attending where I live on the 6th Oct to carry out "an attachment".
Firstly, I share a flat with friends so my main worry is what will happen to their belongings.
Do I phone the Sheriff Officers and explain that I filed for bankruptcy and that the AIB recieved the forms on the 5th Sept ?
Do I have to let them into the property ?
Do I tell them I have no assets and allow them in the property to my room to check for themselves ?
I really don't know what to do and am in a right state as the AIB is closed as is any solicitor as it's the weekend !
Can anyone please give me advice on what to do ?
Thank you in advance !
George

Hi George and welcome
You are in a right state. I am not sure what you should do, but if the Sheriffs officer is not out till the 6th which is over a week away then you have a bit of time to call the AIB on Monday for more advice from them.
I take it by Sheriffs office you dont mean the OR as we know it but another debt agency, sorry i am still learning but wanted to try and help a bit.
I dont know how BR law works in Scotland maybe one of the other experts will be able to help you.
Good luck.

Thank you for thr quick reply Jo.
Basically The Sherif Officer in Scotland is like a bailiff in England if that's any help ?
After a "charge for payment" has been issued then in Scotland we can apply for Bankruptcy. which one was and it's the same company that have now instructed the Sheriff Officers/Bailiffs to proceed.
Probably best doing as you say waiting till Monday and checking with the AIB.
Thanks again !
George

Hi George
Right now i see, i thought for a minute there that the OR was sending someone out.
I would def wait and speak to the AIB, they are there to stop all that, this is what we pay them for.
Good luck.
