Beskrivelse
Bankrupt 130 of 2006 In a record year of insolvencies, debtor 130 of 2006, Joanne Wood, gives a unique personal insight into the modern day plague sweeping Britain - Bankruptcy. As her world crumbled around her, Joanne wrote a detailed account of the emotional rollercoaster endured after she and her husband Tim were declared bankrupt on February 17 2006. Bankrupt 130 of 2006 is a remarkably candid account of what happened to a family when the husband and wife team went bust together. It is a tale of our times, quirky, sometimes angry, often hilarious as Joanne battles to keep her sanity while she tries to hold down her job, keep up the pretence of a normal family life and save her marriage. The diary is also an invaluable guide for those, who are facing up to walking the bankruptcy tightrope. Insolvency has hit record levels in the UK. Britain's credit card debt is greater than the whole of Europe put together and juggling debts has become an everyday part of life. Tens of thousands have gone bust, and tens of thousands more are having to face up to a meeting with the Official Receiver, as the plastic begins to bite back. It is a much-needed "rough guide" to bankruptcy. Joanne's tips, the shortcuts she reveals, the do and don'ts and how to survive life as a bankrupt make it an invaluable and easy to read resource. Joanne takes the reader on a journey through the hardest year of her life. But it is much more than a simple guide. It is a modern day fable of a family in crisis - a fascinating snapshot of life in 21st century Britain.
