VerifiedThe Official Assignee does have a site with a lot of material. But I think they are likely trying to contact you to discuss the completion of the standard three years of bankruptcy and if they are going to permit the usual automatic discharge or object and extend the term. I would also ask if you have lodged the statement of affairs with them as this starts the three years of bankruptcy
Thank you. When you are ready you can accept the answer by rating the answers which I have given.
