As for the no hair comment..............that just makes you even more appealing! I am assuming you wont be on line today as the rugby is on all afternoon! And the spanish grand prix. Perfect day for cleaning the house. My little boy is helping me, his favourite occupation is to suck the hoover! Dont ask! ( not while the hoover is on may I add)

Problem is that the Challenge cup clashes with the Grand Prix, so lots of remote abuse going to be happening later.

Good to Hear that you are sorting it out, a mate of mine went through it all a while back, she is now free and so much happier.

We are looking to do the same thing, it seems it would affect property owned here too, try this website http://myvesta.org.uk/forum/template...it-pagetop.jpg they say theyll do it for you, im not sure how to proceed myself or if any creditors can touch us here, have you any ideas?

Just a thought, but shouldn't most of the stuff done on this thread been better off in the chat room?

I looked at the thread as I thought it was an interesting subject but ended up reading 4 pages of chat which this will also turn into if I reply to everyones comments.

It was just an observation!!

yeah no worries, was just interested in why.


I think that the op had quite a bit of info, and if she felt that the thread had gone astray she would have said so.
The info needed is still there so personally I don't see any problems, but as I said, it is a personal view.

we have found out that you cannot file in UK if you dont live there any more, and yuor creditors cannot pursue you in Spain without going through a lengthy court procedure, in Spain. So no one is just going to turn up and threaten you here. You cannot become insolvent in Spain if you have no creditors here. This is a very Black area.
We have decided to write to our creditors and explain the situation, we have been told to suggest to them they wipe the dept as other options are likely to be lengthy and unproductive. I think it depends on the type of figures you owe and the back ground to the situation. I would be happy to PM you further on this

I know it sounds like we left the UK and got out of paying our debts, but that is not the situation. We want to take resposibility for our debts as we believe what goes around comes around!

spk soon

Thank you for your suggestion, I have been given some valuable advice on this subject so I think it remains in the right place, and as you can see someone else has picked up on it for advice after going 'off subject' for a while, so I dont think all is lost

Thanks for that I was going to try and file, there is a website with model letters that look excellent for writing to creditors, http://www.insolvencyhelpline.co.uk/..._creditors.htm, if it helps. I will be using it too, let me know if you find anything else, thanks

Re: insolvency in spain
 
by the way, do you creditors have your address here or did they find you?

Maybe chatting to an an accountant would be better than a lawyer. You may not have to go bankrupt. I know someone who had over 100 grand of debts and they ended up paying off only 20k and never had to go bankrupt. Their accountant put them onto someone who dealt with it. If you had an accountant in UK, you may want to ask their advice rather than a lawyer.
