A personal bankruptcy order may still be issued even if the debtor declines to agree to it. However, cooperation on the debtors part is desirable. The debtor should attempt to arrive at a resolution with the creditors before bankruptcy is declared. Trying to resolve the case later on is costly and troublesome.
