I live in France and have English debts. I have been told that since my centre of interest (i.e. work) is in France I cannot go bankrupt in England. I am also told that as my debts are English I cannot go bankrupt in France! My only recourse is bankruptcy but it seems impossible for me. I have no assets at all and even the house in which I live is owned solely by my partner. Please can anyone help me? My creditors are threatening all sorts of things!

You say that your creditors are threatening all sorts, could you be a wee bit more specific? You can apply for bankruptcy back in England in person, if you have been living abroad for less than three years. There are a few agencies which do this service for you, but it will cost you. I have asked a friend of mine to have a look at your options and he will report back.

In essence there is precious little creditors can do if you don't have any assets.

Dear George

Thank you so much for taking the time to help. I have been living in France for 8 years so I suppose I can't apply for bankruptcy. My creditors are threatening to send debt collectors to my home. Barclaycard have employed Mercers. They are threatening legal action. I simply don't have the money which is why I tried bankruptcy.

I shall be interested to hear if your friend can help with this.

Again, thank you so much I am really grateful to you.

Rainbow
