Hi,
DC going to have to declare himself bankrupt within next week. A few questions for anyone in the know please!
He runs his own business but it's not ltd so he'll have to go personally bankrupt. There is a bit of money in the business at mo, (but obviously not enough to pay up and coming bills).
I wondered what the implications would be about spending the excess money before bankruptcy declared. I know it sounds imoral but my husband will have no private clients or small businesses as creditors. He will pay back a deposit given by a couple who wanted work done as a priority.
I wanted to buy a family car for about £1000 as my car will be taken after bankruptcy as it's owned by the business.
Also thought I might buy a few Xmas pressies for kids as I'm guessing we'll be pretty brassic by then! Maybe school uniforms for next year and Christening presents for my niece and nephew etc.
I didn't know if the Receiver will look at personal expenditure in last week of trading
and treat us unfavourably. Don't want to piss him off before I meet him!
And might they take the car off me anyway??
Sorry for long ramble but don't know how else to find this stuff out!! CAB etc would not be able to advise any of the above.
Thanks
