Jamie Carragher learns bankruptcy fate as HMRC issue update on his petition

Jamie Carragher has dodged bankruptcy , having settled an unpaid tax bill with HMRC . Judge Nicholas Briggs dismissed a petition filed against the former footballer on Tuesday, October 13, at the Insolvency and Companies Court. Said petition was issued in August, but Kevin Hassan of HMRC has now confirmed that outstanding fees owed by Carragher have been paid. No exact figure was mentioned in court. When the petition emerged a matter of months ago, a spokesperson for the 48-year-old was quick to explain that matters would be dealt with in swift fashion.
