danny11 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Just transfer the car to you and empty bank then go bankrupt, at their age no banks will lend them money anyway so it is worth doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewelstar Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 It costs 625 to go bankrupt altogether, 450 for the cost of it which you have to pay regardless, 175 for court costs but you can get help with that depending on income, this figure has just gone up april 5th as it was 150 ..hope this helps...

Badlittlepup Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Just wanted to send my best to you and your folks, I hope everything works out okay. It sounds like at their age they will have been on a fixed income and nobody had any business giving them that kind of credit, it's really exploitative especially when someone elderly may not fully understand what they are getting into. They really are *#@!s the companies that do this. Age UK (used to be Age Concern and Help the Aged who merged) have a debt helpline specifically for older people which might be easier for them to access.
