    I've never defaulted on a debt either, actually.
    So, you're interested in others who've been declared bankrupt then.

    Why? So you can take the piss?

      No, I'm investigating various options regarding sorting out the horrible mess I seem to be finding myself in. At the moment bankruptcy is slightly below moving to Basingstoke on the list of possibilities. So it's safe to say I'm not seriously considering it.
      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        Define the mess then we can take the piss/offer advice/both.*

        *delete as appropriate.

        But seriously, someone on the forum may be able to help.

          Any tips on persuading a woman to wake up, smell the coffee and do what is good for them & the family rather than living in cloud ******* cuckoo land will be gratefully received. Failing that, any tips on getting rid of 20k of unsecured debt would be handy.

          Basically the mother of my child doesn't want to move to Germany. Running two houses means my outgoings are greater than my income, so although I have a perfectly good contract it looks like I am going to have to kick that into touch and return to the UK for a tulip rate that still won't cover my outgoings.

          I am currently threatening her with life in a crappy provincial town in the hope she will see sense.

              Doubt that will solve anything.

              Sounds like she is just the type of person the CSA loves helping.

                Not an option. I like my son. And I'm not actually a ****.

                  Try threatening with Swindon or Slough instead of Basingstoke.

                    Sounds like a (very)serious "cards on the table" session is in order.

                    Tell her about your hopes, aspirations and dreams. Ask her about hers. If they don't match then walk away. By walk away I don't suggest abandoning her and your child to destitution, do the right thing.

                      Yep, definitely hire a professional to replace the patio stones after you've finished.
