Bankruptcy - automatic discharge 12 months

[The Phantom]

Does anybody know what happens after you have been bankrupt for 12 months ?
OH declared bankrupt early October 2006.
We haven't heard anything from the official receiver since April 2007.
The trustee has last been in contact in October 2006.
Are you not supposed to get automatically discharged after 12 months ?
Will we be getting a letter to this effect or is this just "it" now and we won't be hearing anything else anymore ?
Is anything supposed to happen ?

If you go to the Insolvency Register here, you can search for your name on the register. Once you've found your entry, click on your name & on the page that comes up you'll see the date for your discharge. If you haven't received an Income & Expenditure sheet from the OR by that date, then chances are you won't be getting an IPA/IPO as they can't be imposed once someone's discharged. They don't confirm automatic discharges in writing, but if you want a certificate of discharge, the court will charge you £60 for it plus £1 for each additional copy.

You can find out more info about discharge from bankruptcy here.

I am in Scotland and been a few years for me so I know it's different.

But i didn't receive anything. I called the trustees office and they clarified date of discharge etc and said if i wanted the discharge letter need to send payment ( a lot less than up here than down there )

but never needed it

Oh - thanks for that !!
We were waiting daily for a certificate to frame and pin on the wall or something or a bunch of flowers through the post
Well, by the looks of it it could have been a long wait !

I just checked the above link and it actually says OH was discharged 02.10.07 !
And no, we haven't heard a dickie bird from anybody since April...
Oh well, an unpleasant chapter closed then !
