It’s June of 2018, my bankruptcy has recently ended. I have a letter in my hand declaring that I am released from bankruptcy and it gives me a feeling of relief and also indicates to me how time flies past when you’re busy. I have had no more contact from any of the companies […]
I am sat in a field in Northern France. I’m not moving at all, it is silent and I can see the rolling, green and pleasant countryside for miles in just about all directions. Looking left I can see a beautiful, resplendent old stone farm complex with pale blue wooden shutters keeping out the […]
As far as new changes, challenges and new problems arising through month 5 of my bankruptcy, nothing has really happened. The vehicle company took the car last month and I have heard nothing since. Being car-less in 2017, and for the first time in almost 30 years is a challenge. Never again will I moan […]
The monthly update on the start of the Fifth month of bankruptcy. Very little to report really. I had a few more computer generated letters earlier in the month of October from the car finance people, but they were passed straight onto the Insolvency Agency to deal with. Another company has bought a debt from […]
Just a quick blog with reference to my 3rd month of bankruptcy. Not much to report really. I still have a working bank account and a working pre paid Monzo Debit card, so life seems ‘fairly’ normal, besides of course, from not having any salary or savings that is. My £73 ($95) per week from […]
Well it has flown by. It only seems like days since I made the decision to declare myself bankrupt. It only seems like days since I signed the dotted line. It has been give or take – 60 days – two months, and I have 10 more months left of being ‘a bankrupt’. There is […]
If you’ve read my previous posts, you’ll know that my bankruptcy wasn’t caused by my own financial mismanagement. I had an issue at work in which my employer thought (and was proved incorrectly) that I had broken some rules and they reported me to the Police and also my licensing authority. I’m a professional who […]
Sat in a cafe in North London yesterday, I re-read a text message I was sent the previous night from someone I love and respect dearly. The reason I had to re-read it was simply that when it came through and my eyes darted left and right over the black letters on a grey background, […]
My first month of my bankruptcy has flown by. 11 to go. I have had a lot going on in my personal life to attend to, but not withstanding that, I thought I would write down a summary of what has happened purely on the financial affairs front for anyone in the future who searches […]
Spending a few days away this weekend working in my friends pub did me both the world of good and also dragged me back a little. It did a lot more too, it let me see (and hear from) people that I love and that love me back, and that is a great healer in […]
The ramblings of a bankrupt.
