Hi all,
Went to Northern Ireland and was declared bankrupt over a 16 months ago. One Irish bank in particular, wouldn’t accept the Northern Ireland bankruptcy order as I had mortgaged property with my ex in Dublin (who has since disappeared to somewhere in Australia). The bank hounded me for over a year.
I got my order of discharge from the Northern Ireland High Court and have since moved back to Dublin but the Irish bank is still sending letters saying I owe them money, etc. (now months after I’ve been discharged).
I know that in the past, a UK bankrupt, who moved back to Ireland, would have had to apply to the Master of the High Court in Ireland (under SI No. 334/2002 European Communities (Personal Insolvency) Regulations 2012) to get the UK bankruptcy order and the UK discharge order accepted. Does anyone know if this is still the case? Or what I can do now to stop the bank hounding me?
I thought that UK bankruptcy orders automatically applied in Ireland due to Council Regulation (EC) No 1346/2000 but I’m confused as to how I can enforce a UK bankruptcy order and UK order of discharge in Ireland to stop the bank.
Any help/ideas would really help.
