Hello Saz

Bankruptcy is an option available to everyone. The fact that you have a limited income and are in a rented accommodation means that you have no major assets at risk, but even though your car is only valued at 1900 pounds unless you can prove that this is needed and give a realistic reason as to why you cant use public transport to get around, your car could be seized. Also what people aren't always aware of is that if a court believes you can afford to pay something back they could still make you pay in the bankruptcy.
If the debt is all in your name then you are the only person responsible for that debt, meaning that your partner wouldn't be affected. For more information give DAT a call and our advisors will go into more details about how to go bankrupt.
Hope this helps.
