Register as a creditor if a person or company owes you money and the court issues them with a bankruptcy or winding-up order.
When you register, you’ll be added to the list of creditors (people who are owed money). You’re not guaranteed any payment, but you’ll be:
kept informed about the case
allowed to vote on decisions at any creditors’ meetings
Creditor claims are different in Scotland - see the Accountant in Bankruptcy website.
