Debt Relief Order

Debt Relief Orders

If you owe less that £15,000, have £50 or less to contribute towards your debts and have assets and any savings which are worth less than £300, then a Debt Relief Order may be a faster and cheaper alterative to Bankruptcy if you can’t afford to pay your debts.

How many hours are you allowed to work/how much can you earn and keep a debt relief order?


I owe about £5k and lost my job a few months ago. My only income is JSA. It does not seem likely that I will find a full time job any time soon, so I'm considering applying for a debt relief order. If I was to get a full time job i realise the DRO would be cancelled, but was wondering how many hours could i work if something came up, and keep the DRO?

Can I still go ahead with a DRO if I move in with my boyfriend?


In my current circumstances I know I am eligible to apply for a debt relief order, as I have had reliable advice that this is the case. However, I have had certain qualms about whether this is the right way to go, and therefore haven't set it in motion yet. What I really want to do right now is move in with my boyfriend, maybe even get married, but without saddling him with my debts.

If I get a DRO will it stop me from getting a Student Loan?
