Where can I get bankruptcy information?

There are a number of trusted bankruptcy information sources in the UK, depending on your circumstances some may be more suitable than others.

• If you are unsure whether Bankruptcy is the right solution for you and you would like advice about your options, you can call Debt Advice Foundation’s confidential debt advice helpline to speak with one of our specialist Advisors.
• If you have already considered all of the alternatives to Bankruptcy (such as an IVA, Debt Management and Debt Relief Order) and you are sure that you wish to proceed then the Insolvency Service website is a useful practical resource where you can complete your Bankruptcy petition forms online. The Insolvency Service is an executive agency of the UK’s Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and is responsible for regulating the insolvency profession.
• If you require specific bankruptcy information then you’ll find a large resource of Bankruptcy FAQs on this website.
