my husband and I owe about £16k, both unemployed with only a car valued at £4k. we are living with family so have no home or any other assets. My parents live abroad and have offered us to join them. We cant possibly leave with debts and no means of repaying them. would it be possible to offer the bank our car or proceeds from it as a settlement?

we have thought about being bankrupt bur are unsure how it will effect our application for permanent residence in a new country. Do you think that the people that we owe to would take an offer ?

Hi
It,s possible because in bankruptcy,because of fees,they would get very little.
You will have to convince them that you will go bankrupt if they do not accept your offer and that can be the difficult part.

You could possibly offer a lump sum to your creditors to pay off the money that you owe. Whether or not they would accept this offer is a different story.
