Many people are scared of taking the step to go bankrupt, as the vast majority will never have been to court before and so are anxious about what the process may mean. It is a classic case of fear of the unknown. Luckily today services have emerged that make it easy for those seeking to go bankrupt to be taken through the process in a bankruptcy walkthrough service.

The costs of these services varies considerably from a few hundred pounds to a few thousand, so it is definitely worth making a few calls and shopping around.

For your money you should get a full explanation of what bankruptcy is and what it will mean in your specific circumstances. What is right for one person will not necessarily be right for another.

After you have taken this advice, do not make up your mind straight away. Think things over and even speak to your friends. Do you know anyone who has gone bankrupt?

When you decide to take the plunge and if you use a bankruptcy walkthrough service what can you expect.

You should expect to have your Petition and Statement of affairs filled in for you. The Petition is a straight forward two page document. The Statement of Affairs is very much more complicated and runs to 35 pages. You will be expected to provide full details of any disputes and court hearings you have. You will have to tell the Official Receiver about any items you have disposed of in the last five years which may have been below market value.

If you run your own business, you will need to give full details about it, as it may constitute an asset.

There is a lot of information required on your assets and liabilities. For many going through the process, the assets section will be easy to fill in as they will have none. The liabilities side by contrast will be a lengthy process and often repetitive.

Of crucial importance is the expenditure section as this will determine whether any sum will need to be paid to the OR under an income payments plan. A good advisor will be able to complete this for you so that the effect of any income payments order is minimised.

After the forms are completed, a court needs to be booked, this can be complicated, and so a good advisor, will be able to sort out the right court and also book the hearing. Many advisors will only do your documents and so if you want assistance at the hearing check that this is on offer and included in the price.

With the right advisor, a bankruptcy walkthrough can be a simple process.
