Five reasons why you should avoid bankruptcy
  • Loss of Assets
    • Any property you own must be sold.
    • Other significant assets, such as a car, must be sold.
  • Lack of Control
    • Once bankruptcy proceedings start, the outcome is out of your hands.
    • Information is collected by the Official Receiver and the outcome is decided by the presiding magistrate on the day of the bankruptcy hearing.
  • Credit Status is Very Low
    • You will find it very difficult to get a mortgage.
    • Or any other credit such as a card or a loan.
  • Social Stigma
    • Your bankruptcy is advertised in the local newspapers.
    • If you are a tenant, the landlord is informed.
  • Loss of Career
    • There are also certain types of jobs that bankrupts find it difficult to get. These include security, law related and accountancy jobs.
    • There are restrictions on owning a business or being a director

Through no fault of my own, I ran into business difficulties. The stress was taking its toll on my health and on my family. I was advised to take out an IVA. Lee at Marriotts suggested an alternative plan. Twelve months on I have cleared all my debts and I have started to trade again.
