You have a valid point, but it may not just be the cost of getting the bankruptcy order I am referring to. You are having to live on allowances for three years which are very tough. All extra money goes to your creditors. Then there is the potential 5 year income payments agreement. For some people this all needs to be factored in.
I accept that this is not all clear, but costs are sometimes more than the initial fee

Do they have published living expenses in the uk like we have here?
I know the accommodation would vary greatly depending on area but I'd imagine food, clothing, transport allowances are the same everywhere.
The OA has said he would like people to enter the income payments agreemnets as early as possible therefore the majority of it should be when you are in the bankruptcy. Is this the same in the uk?
I think an updated comparison of Irl -v- uk costs and allowances would be a great idea now that we have a bit more of an idea how this side works. I think I read an excellent comparison you did before but it was based on the old system.
