Sample Letter to Creditors Advising of Bankruptcy

After being declared bankrupt, you will need to contact your creditors to let them know your situation,

The official receiver will declare some of your debts priority and some non-priority so in your letter you should add  the fact that the decision over priority and non priority debts will be left to the official receiver. The decision to pay or discharge debts will be the receiver’s decision not that of you, the debtor. The receiver will be in touch with each creditor during the bankruptcy process.
