Hi - I am in a real state with my finances and cannot see any other choice but to declare myself bankrupt. I dont own anything of real value apart from my car, TV, DVD player. I am concerned if that I do decide to take the route of bankruptcy my car will be taken off me, along with the rest of my possessions. I need my car for my job and without it I could end up losing it. Can you please advise me of what would happen with my car and possessions?

Thanks

Your care will only be taken from you if it is of a certain value (usually around £2,000) and/or not required for work transport. Your usual domestic assets will not be touched.

If you're considering bankruptcy, please look at the Insolvency Service website - insolvency.gov.uk It has some basic advice about the process.

But please also talk to an expert to make sure you understand more about Bankruptcy - any Insolvency Practitioner local to you should give you some free advice on what it involves. They should talk you through the main points, including your car.

As Melanie mentioned, your TV, DVD, etc cannot be touched in bankruptcy - you are allowed to keep what you need for your 'reasonable domestic needs', so household items are yours to keep

Good luck
