Don't declare yourself bankrupt! As much as you seem to think it's an easy option, it is impossible to get a standard mortgage for years afterwards, regardless of the recent changes.
Anyway - you have to have a considerable amount of debt before you can declare yourself bankrupt.
If you have - this could be the reason why you can't get a mortgage.
What debts do you have? Do you have a good income?
