I think I will be declaring myself bankrupt after all and I have phoned my local county court to ask them if there is a waiting list and they have said "no", I just need to turn up. Does this mean that if I submit my petition sometime in early March, then I should be declared bankrupt on the same day? I am trying to do this before the start of the new financial year as I would rather not have to let my empoyers know of my bankruptcy. Does this make sense and am I right in thinking that the day you turn up in court with the relevant papers and payment, this is the same day you are declared bankrupt?
Yes, you are right Keith. If your court has a walk in policy you can turn up when you're ready and you will be declared BR the same day.
One thing I would say is to check whether the court has a maximum amount of people they can see per day. The court I went to had a walk in policy, but could only see 4 people per day and it was first come first served. They also didn't have BR hearings on Fridays.
Tomorrow is a mystery, yesterday is history, today is the present, a gift to make the most of.
