A quick definition of insolvency law:

Insolvency law is a set of rules that helps people who can't pay their debts. It's sometimes called bankruptcy law. It helps debtors by giving them relief from their creditors. Bankruptcy is a legal process where a debtor can get financial help and their assets are either sold or reorganized to pay off their debts. There are different types of bankruptcy, but the most common are liquidation and rehabilitation. Liquidation means selling off assets to pay creditors, while rehabilitation means the debtor keeps their assets and pays off their debts over time. Insolvency law also deals with the rights of creditors and debtors. If someone declares bankruptcy, they are considered to be insolvent. Insolvency means that someone can't pay their debts. The word bankruptcy comes from an old Italian custom of breaking the counter of a failed merchant.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)

Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.
