What happens to my debts?

Most unsecured debts such as council tax arrears, overdue utility bills, credit cards and loans will usually be included in your bankruptcy. These debts will be cancelled when your bankruptcy ends.

Specific debts including student loans, fines and debts incurred through fraud cannot be included. These remain your responsibility to pay.

You must include all debts in your application.
