You can help us, and get the most out of your appointment, by doing the following:
Contact us as soon as you can
Court cases have strict deadlines. The more notice you can give us, the more options we may have to help you.
Bring the relevant paperwork
If you have received legal documents bring them with you. Put the paperwork you need to bring in a clear order.
If you want help with completing a court document, bring it with you. Fill it in as much as you can, particularly if you would like us to check your Debtor’s Petition / Statement of Affairs.
We will require you to fill in a questionnaire about your financial situation before you see the adviser, so please also bring the information about your income and debts with you.
Come prepared
Your appointment will last about 40 minutes. Please be realistic about what you can achieve in that time.
You can help the adviser by giving a clear and brief summary of your situation. Have key facts and dates written down.
Think about the questions you want answers to. Again, it might help to write them down and bring them with you.
People come to us for advice for different reasons. Some want to declare themselves bankrupt, others have court hearings and are at risk of losing their home. We aim to see people in the order they arrive, but please be understanding if we need to prioritise someone whose need is more urgent than your own.
