Welcome to the Bankruptcy Assistance Scheme resource section of our website where you will find all the resources you need to petition for your own bankruptcy. 

You have taken the first step to ensuring your bankruptcy goes as smoothly as possible, you have faced up to your obligations and you addressing your financial situation head on, so well done.

Bankruptcy is a legal process and one which I'm afraid you need to take part in yourself.  If you are petitioning for your own bankruptcy then you will have to complete the forms and take them to your local county court, you may have to stand in front of a judge, you will have an interview with an official receiver and you will get your name published as a bankrupt.  You can't hide anywhere, thats why I wish I had a site like this when I went through my bankruptcy last year, I had no-one to guide me or 'hold my hand' so I learned the hard way.

So lets get started.  On the menu to your left you will see a whole list of pages under the page 'BAS Resource, click on the top page of that list, 'Introduction to Bankruptcy'
