Have you moved from England or Wales to live in Queensland and still have debts in the UK? If so it may be worth considering filing bankruptcy in England while living in Australia.

Our Company has been established since 2009 and in that time we have helped over 100 people living in Australia to file bankruptcy and clear their debts and liabilities in the UK. The whole process is handled by us on your behalf including the preparation and presentation of the legal bankruptcy documents to the Court in England.

If you have a property in England, Wales or elsewhere in the World it can also be included as part of the bankruptcy so this process is also a good solution if you own property in negative equity or if you have had a property that has been repossessed by the mortgage company.

We can also deal with debt collectors if your debts have been sold or passed over for debt collection. We will act on your behalf as an authorised representative and contact these companies to confirm that you are filing for bankruptcy; in many cases the creditors will then hold off until the bankruptcy has been approved in England at which point we will update them which will stop pursuit of the debts.

For some free and no obligation advice just complete our short enquiry form and an experienced advisor will be in contact to discuss your options.
