Involuntary bankruptcy arises when a person you owe money to involves the court to declare you bankrupt. Commonly when you get one of these notices, you have normally 21 days to pay all the debt. If you do not, then the creditor goes back to the court and asks the court to provide a sequestration order that declares you bankrupt. A trustee is selected, and then you have 14 days to get the documentation in and after that you are bankrupt.
