I notified my creditors in December that was no longer able to maintain the payments on the informal payment plans that I have set up due to a relationship breakdown. I am now getting telephone messages to contact them. Should I tell them that I am in the process of filing for bankruptcy or should I wait and let the OR do it.
If bankruptcy is your intention and you are starting the process, yes tell your creditors if they contact you what your intentions are - in that you are inthe process of filing your petition in bankruptcy - this will get them to back off, usually there is a complete change in attitude from creditors (the ones demanding payment) Hope this helps

Personally, I would just tell them you are taking steps to sort your debts out, I would not tell them you are going bankrupt, I told some of my creditors and it made them chase even harder and they did not believe me
