    Receiving cash from family while bankrupt

    You would be better off just giving him the cash or paying a bill for him. The OA will probably just give him a hard time about it and may even take some of it.

    Help needed for bankruptcy

    I'm heading in that direction too and found it very difficult to get specific information. There's lots of snip bits from people looking for business but none will answer a specific question. Every case is different and your family home could be an issue if it's in both names. I'm self employed...

    Key Post Discharged from bankruptcy-My experience.

    Can I ask what was your inter action like with the OA? Was it in person, via email? Was it the same person or different people? Just an over view of the process would be great. Thanks

    Key Post Discharged from bankruptcy-My experience.

    Thanks for your honest post - do you mind me asking if you had any revenue debt writing off? The reason why I'm asking is that I'm just about to go through the process and I rely on having a tax clearance cert to work.

    Bronte, I'm sorry if you find me asking a question or two frustrating on the 'askaboutmoney' website... like! It might be a 'no brainer' to you to go and hire someone like Jim (whom I'm sure is excellent at what he does) and stop the torture but I don't have three or four thousand euro - not...

    Any self employed Bankruptcies

    Thanks for your reply Jim, I would be a very small business very similar to your taxi driver in structure and turn over. In that case or a similar case does the OA look for on going management accounts or does he rely on previous tax returns? As one month I could be up and another down but over...

    Dealing with the Official Assignee - Some questions!

    Thanks TLO for your thoughts. Unfortunately I need the income as I'm not entitled to any support from job seekers etc as my wife's income is just above the threshold for me to qualify plus self-employed doesn't really help the matter. As for my wife... I wouldn't have made it this far without...

    Thanks Brendan, Business is seasonal so the likelihood of an increase is low. Any information on the above would be really appreciated. Does anyone know will my wifes income be taken into effect when I try to establish a RLE or will it be split 50:50?

    Dealing with the Official Assignee - Some questions!

    For 6 years I've fought this and I can't do it any longer. My health has deteriorated, I've been depressed for a long time and I'm getting too old to be carrying this kind of debt and pressure. So I'm going to go bankrupt! My situation is.... I had a property where I used to live - I had...

    Maybe a moderator could move it across into the tax section! I'm a sole trader so no company involved.

    Bankrupt - Can I afford to go bust?

    Thank you all for the input - it really is great to see the opposing opinions as it is making me aware of the alternatives. The only way I can see that I can play hard ball is if I'm prepared to take the nuclear option if it fails. I guess that something I'll have to build up to but at present...

    Bankrupt - Can I afford to go bust?

    Thank you both for your insights. A few questions were asked - I've tried to answer as best as I can.
