Bankruptcy with income tax debt advice

[Stigman]

My OH brother has 29k of debt he owes the nice taxman, he pays him £200 a month out of his minimum wage pay (court ordered payments)

 

Your Brother in law can go back to Court and ask for a variation in payments if they are too high and causing him financial issues.

 

Bankruptcy will effect your Brother in law if he is employed or going to be employed in the financial or security sectors, it even effects him if he is a Governor at a local school (until discharged) so he will need professional guidance.

Tax debts can be included as well as the Council Tax.

 

With the tax debt was he in a Partnership with another Business Associate?

 

Only thing that cannot be included are amongst others any Social Fund Loans and Benefit Overpayments.

Ok, after Bankruptcy if anyone chases your Brother in law for debts before his Bankruptcy date other than a few exceptions like the example above then just refer to whoever chases to the Bankruptcy number and Court

 

The Judge will give your Brother in law a talk about do you understand the implications, please make sure he does and that he has talked to someone who can spell out everything.

 

It's not like on TV, you all sit at a table in a room.
