How do I make myself bankrupt?
First, you will need to complete the necessary forms, which you can print off from the Insolvency Service website at the following link: http://www.bis.gov.uk/insolvency/About-us/forms/england-and-wales
The petition, form 6.27 – this form is your request to the court for you to be made bankrupt and includes the reasons for your request.
The statement of affairs, form 6.28 – this form shows all your assets (anything that belongs to you that may be used to pay your debts) and all your debts. It includes the names and addresses of the creditors and the amount you owe each one.
The form contains a Statement of Truth which you will need to complete.
