How do I know if bankruptcy is the right insolvency solution for me?
Bankruptcy is a formal, high court process for people in debt over €20,000. Before you consider applying for bankruptcy you must first have explored the alternative solutions to bankruptcy which are contained in the Personal Insolvency Act 2012, and which are also available on this website. If these alternative solutions are not suitable then bankruptcy could be the right solution for you.
