Hi guys.
I was made redundant in June due to long term ill health and filed for bankruptcy in July. I was wondering if the remaining 12 months of payments I make towards the sky glass TV unit could be wiped off with the bankruptcy, since its an outstanding debt? (removed)
Thanks,
Luke.

Sorry, i'd forgot to mention the Sky employee couldn't answer my question nor could he put me through to anybody of relevance.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@LukePea I cannot stress strongly enough that you need to take expertadvice on any issues around bankruptcy. Step Change and Citizens Advice will give you free advice if you contact them. Any unsecured debt such as the credit agreement for purchase of a Glass TV will normally be covered.

You'd think so mate but companies have made this way more difficult than it should have been. The only company the insolvency contacted on my behalf was the bank and i believe that was more of an example of what I had to do.

I appreciate everybodies opinion on the matter but im here more for an answer than an opinion, namely from a sky representive. I've dealt with other companies fine about the insolvency but skys refusal to have a decent team is making life very difficult.

@LukePea you won't get a response directly from sky on here I'm afraid
the advice given by @Chrisee is the best the forum can give you

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@LukePea oddly creditors rarely advise you that you do not need to pay them even when legally you dont. You dont appear to understand what bankruptcy involves read this link https://www.stepchange.org/how-we-help/bankruptcy.aspx
