John,(posted 7519 days ago)The solicitor has come back with further info on the above....
1. The bankruptcy petition should have been served within 4 months of the SD. If it is not, there is no specific time bar but creditor must explain the reasons for the delay.
2. Even if the SD was not served correctly, it will be OK if it has actually come to the debtor's attention. Did this happen or was the first that was known about it the arrival of the petition?
Even if the SD did come to the debtor's attention, I would still wish to pursue the issue of the server apparently giving incorrect information on an affidavit. Mark.
