Should be soon now, supposedly we are waiting on Alan Shatter to come back
Joan Burton stated on radio yesterday that the legislation would be passed in December.

The next step is to fill in the following documents:
Petition and Affadavit

Statement of Affairs

.
The first document is quite complicated, are you sure it's you that fills out the first two pages, the second half, is much easier, which is referred to as the Affadait in the explanation just before it, but that part is definitely the bankruptcy applicant.
Have you filled it out yet Pat2?
Bit bewildered by the first document myself.
I'll have a better read of it this evening as I too found it bewildering. Can you not ask the OA or the insolvency service for help on the form? I presume you're getting legal advice via FLAC?
Maybe the website of the insolvency service has a 'how to fill out forms' section? Probably too much to hope for there, they are too busy on important stuff maybe.
I was just onto the ISI, I am now even more confused than I was before I rang. I was asking about the advertising fees (what I am posting below, is printed at the bottom of each page on the bankruptcy info on ISI)
* The Companies (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2013 contains a provision which, if passed, will provide an alternative to the requirement to advertise details of a petition for bankruptcy in a national newspaper. The provision provides for a person to publish details of the bankruptcy on the ISI website, at no cost.
It has now been passed at the end of December and has changed to this:
"*The Companies (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2013 contains a provision which provides an alternative to the requirement to advertise details of a petition for bankruptcy in a national newspaper. The provision provides for a person to publish details of the bankruptcy on the ISI website, at no cost"
Transfer €650 to the Official Assignee in the Bankruptcy Division of the ISI, either electronically or using an interbank transfer.
The necessary stamp duty must be paid and currently it is €82.50 for the Petition and €20 for the Affidavit
Total is €752.50
The girl on the phone told me that I am to write in the bankruptcy papers that I wish to put the bankruptcy on the ISI and not advertise in the newspaper.
Now, here is where I am confused and the girl didn't clear it up for me,
"Place advert in Iris Oifigiúil & a national daily newspaper* publicising your
bankruptcy"
I understand it that you no longer need to advertise in the national daily newspaper, but do you still have to advertise in the Iris Oifigiuil?
Pat, I just saw your reply there, this is the pdf for the 2014 bankruptcy details [broken link removed]
Update, I got onto the examiners office, who were really helpful with lots of other questions I ended up asking. Examiners office said to ring the ISI again and ask for the OA office. I then spoke to another nice helpful person, she said yes we still have to advertise in the Irish Oifigiuil but lady reckoned it only costs about €40!I was dreading it being hundreds. Hope that info is a help to someone out there

Thanks, just had a quick scan through it and couldn't see where they mention that the act is passed regarding the advertising.
I know the wording seems that way but have you got it confirmed?
It's on the homepage of ISI, right in the middle, it has this title and link:
The Companies (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2013 has been enacted.
.
This is also new on the webiste of the ISI
[broken link removed]
with these rules on the newspaper
In order to advertise on the ISI Website rather than through National Media, you must:
and there we also find this one person who seems to be going through the bankruptcy process, at the end of it you can see it's crossed out the requirement for the national newspaper. He's also using a solicitor for the process. And he'll be in court next Monday, I'm guessing it's the first one.
- Obtain permission from the Court through the Examiners Office to advertise on this website.
- Provide a copy of the Notice of Statutory to ISI Bankruptcy Division a minimum of 15 calendar days before the Statutory Sitting
