today i sit waiting a phone call from the official receiver, to make an appointment to come and see me, but while i wait i thought i would phone my bank to see what there policies are on there customers who go bankrupt, they will freeze my account, so i rang around one bank said they could set me up a savings account but i need a account that will allow me to do direct debits from, im having problems finding one, hubby suggested moving all my stuff to his account but we will still have to get a bank account because this will happen to him to

my alternative is get my direct debits set up in my daughters account which i can sign on because she is disabled

im stuck which way to go from here

Wow Kath,
I've never been in this situation before. I didn't realize my current bank would freeze my account. Good grief just put another nail in the cofin.

Hubby and I have a joint account. Where both his paycheck and my disability are direct deposited. This could be a big big problem for us too.

Hope someone can help you out. Think I'm going to start checking the US banking system to see what could hapen to us

Kathryn,

That's odd! If they freeze your account what happens to your money? That's your money they can't freeze it. I had no problem in the U.S. either. I actually had a credit card account with the bank that my checking account was in and the credit card was part of my bankrupcy. I thought they might kick me out for my checking but they didn't.

Talk to your receiver about this because I can't see how it's legal?

Tranquility

i talked to my reciver they have no problem with me keeping my account its up to each bank if they keep you on, because of this they have advised me to go to my bank and talk to them to see what they say,

good news is they wont touch the car when we finish paying for it because of using for eldest daughters appointments, also sometimes they asses the money you have comming in to take some towards the crediters, but as our money is made up of benifits which are allready assed for living expenses they wont be taking any money,
this lady i spoke to said that the joint debts will go to hubby but i explained that he to was going bankrupt and she has left a note on file to see if she can do his case as well so she wont have to go other all the same questions again, she was very nice and helpfull

the only thing we have to worry about is the bank i will post more when i know

Once the day is done...it is a strange feeling...

The biggest step really is figuring out your budget, so that you live on a cash basis...
