    Post Insolvency/bankruptcy

    Does anyone have any experience and/or knowledge in this field?

    A close friend of mine is being forced into insolvency and cant afford financial advice etc.

    We are talking about a good 30 grand and the solicitors client is a very large bank!

    I don't think a bank would bankrupt someone for 30 grand. What's the point? It would cost them and they wouldn't get their money. He should just talk to the bank about a payment plan - easy.

    Well that may be the case and I am sure that in a true default situation the lender has little option but to seek recourse, it is a counterproductive process and as such it is a last resort. I dont know your mates situation. I have worked for a bank for 20 years so I am still a bit green but intuitively I would encourage your friend to sort out an arrangement asap. Its only 30K FFS thats not even a decent fee for a Bank.

    Bollocks.

    They weren't 'forced into it'. They probably just stumbled into it through their own laziness and ignorance.

    A friend of mine owed $30-something K at one point. Lawyer's letter threatening bankruptcy ensued. After a few sensible chats with his creditor's solicitor about realistic recovery and the commercial position of his company, I guaranteed a $10K loan, he handed it over and the whole thing disappeared.

    The key to any 'insolvent' situation is just to talk to your creditors without bullshitting them. There's always a way. Bankruptcy is what happens when people stop talking.
