Thank you again for your help. I suppose I will have to contact a solicitor who specialises in bankruptcy law, can you or anyone recommend one for me?

Thank you Ruleoflaw, I was a sole trader, so it was "my name" trading as " trade name". Only my first initial and surname was on the register and also separately my trading name. I have never received any paperwork or information pertaining to the original bankruptcy, how can I find this out (court papers etc ?) Thanks

Thank you,sorry for late reply, I have a private pension with the Prudential, I am not sure how they have my pension I assume it was before the law changed in early 00,s. I will contact that number on Monday morning. Thanks Again Peter

When I was informed about my bankruptcy I checked the insolvency register but could not find it but I did find my trading name at the time. I have since found out that they did not have my full name or my date of birth.

My bankruptcy discharge was suspended indefinitely because I did not cooperate with the or,how could I as I did not know. I was not served with any notice. I have been told that one company filed for my bankruptcy for the amount of approx 10,000 and there are to other debtors for 4600 and 300.

Thank you so much

Hello. I was made bankrupt in December 1998, I was not aware of this until a couple of years ago whilst enquiring about my pension and they told me about my bankruptcy. I have recently been in touch with the Official receiver and have completed my telephone interview, they have written to the courts and confirm that my bankruptcy will end in 1 years time even though my order at the time came under the 3 year rule. They inform me that my pension still forms part of my original debt and that I will not be able to access this. My question is, can I appeal or do anything to get my pension back, it is only worth about 25,000 pound but it is a lot to me as I am on disability payments for a terminal lung disease. I left the UK in 1997 and currently live in Ireland but I have family in London. Can anyone advise me on this or put me in touch with a solicitor (who doesn't charge 200 per hour) Thanks
