    can someone tell me about bankruptcy?

    In theory it should be the same amount of time you would spend unable to get credit after being declared bankrupt, 6 years - with the end result the same - an empty credit file.

    can someone tell me about bankruptcy?

    Most lenders have very poor trace systems. They will almost exclusively use your credit file. If you do not register on the electoral register, do not take out any credit and have relatives & previously linked persons (such as ex-wife) that keep quiet you should have no problem 'laying low'.

    can someone tell me about bankruptcy?

    The problem with debt is that the general public are uneducated and are unaware as to how to deal with it. Months of phone calls and letters will only continue if you bury your head in the sand and try to wish it all away. As soon as you make an agreement to repay the debt, the calls and...

    Being evicted due to demolition

    A lot has been posted since my original question about the fact that compensation is being paid. This does NOT only apply to council tenants. The house next door to mine was bought a number of years ago and subsequently let out privately. The landlord of the property, being forced to sell, will...

    Being evicted due to demolition

    In leeds I believe anyone can join the housing register, but you are given a 'general needs' status meaning you will wait a very long time for a house in the more desired areas as anyone else 'bidding' on the property with a higher priority banding will always get it first.

    Being evicted due to demolition

    If you came around to my house and saw the state that firstly the property itself is in (I have done my best to patch it up), the state the streets are in with litter etc, and my local neighbours, you would think that £245p/m is too much, believe me.

    Being evicted due to demolition

    At which point in my original post did I say I am unemployed and claiming benefits? I live in a council house, but both myself and my partner work full time. Although to be honest whilst I almost took offence at your comments I then think about some of my neighbours and it does not seem fair...

    Being evicted due to demolition

    My council property is being knocked down (thank god) and we obviously have to move out fairly soon. We have been given access to the housing register with a priority stamp and will receive £4600 by way of 'compensation' to decorate a new home, put towards deposit on a mortgage, or whatever we...

    Spec me

    You may as well sell your current pc with the CPU and ram in it. Or sell it all separately. Either way you won't notice any real difference in performance unless you upgrade these as well.
