Bankruptcy Case Study In Respect Of "Your
Future Income"
Background
Rachael is a divorced mother of three.
She has suffered a serious illness rendering her incapable
of working and is now therefore claiming benefits to support
herself and her family.
She is made bankrupt for non payment
of mail order goods.
She receives the sum of £120 per week
in incapacity benefit and child allowance.
Her weekly expenditures are £115.
QUESTION
Will the Official Receiver make an income
payments order.
ANSWER
No.
Rachael is receiving benefits to support
both her and her family and has no surplus income.
Rachael will be requested to complete
six monthly income and expenditure statements. Her statement
will therefore be reviewed on receipt of each account to establish
whether her income has increased or her expenses reduced.
Should it be shown that there is a surplus during this review,
then an income payments order will be made for the amount
of the surplus.
