I hold my hands up and hadnt paid my Council Tax. Eventually I was taken to court for Bankrupcy. I said I would get a loan or the money from somewhere and they adjourned the case for a month. I then applied for various loans which I can get but will take anothher couple of weeks (Initial hearing was 29th Feb 2008). I was expecting a letter from the court giving me a date and time of the next hearing which to date I have not received. Today in the post I received 2 letters from finance companies saying how sorry they were that I had been declared bankrupt and could they help. I phoned one of them up and asked what they were talking about cos as far as I was concerned proceedings were adjourned and I was making arrangements, and hadnt been given a new date or time of the adjourned hearing. The chappy I spoke to said the hearing took place on 26/3/08 in my absence and I was made bankrupt. Surely this cant be right....................now I cant even take up my loan offers because technically I am now bankrupt even though I wasnt there to explain things cos I hadnt been notified of the new date!!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated Alye
