The remaining debt is legally written off and individuals are legally protected from creditors for the duration of the five years. Interest and charges are frozen legally, and creditors cannot take any further action.

Debt Relief Order (DRO)

A Debt Relief Order (DRO) is a formal insolvency process which results in all your qualifying debts being written off. On the 6th April 2024, the government announced in their budget that they have removed the fee to apply for a DRO which had been £90 previously. This means you do not need to make any payments toward your creditors where you qualify and enter into this solution.

Your debts are placed on hold for 12 months before being written off. Only the debts included in the order can be written off so it is important you know who you owe money to.

In order to qualify for a DRO you must not be a homeowner, not have assets worth more than £2000 and not own a vehicle worth more than £4000. You must not have more than £50,000 of outstanding debts and must have less than £75 disposable income each month.

Advice Debt Top Tips

Do I really need to buy this?
Avoiding debt can be a challenge in our modern world, where it's easy to get overwhelmed by all the temptations of spending. To stay on track with your finances, take some extra time before big purchases and ask yourself if you truly need that item.
Make budgeting a good habit
Mapping out and keeping track of your spending is essential for financial stability and success. Developing a budget can help you save money, recognize potential overspending habits before they start, as well as protect against unexpected expenses. Mastering the practice of creating an effective budget plan will go long way in helping to improve your overall credit rating.
Knowing your credit score
An excellent credit score is essential for any individual looking to access financial assistance. Without this metric, lenders may deny borrowers mortgages, car loans and other financing options; even something as simple as a phone contract could come at an immense price with the wrong rating. Therefore, it's important that you understand how your credit score can impact your life in various ways - from getting approved for major purchases to making sure you are paying reasonable costs on everyday transactions.
Borrow or save?
Deciding whether to save or borrow can be a difficult choice that carries lasting consequences. Saving may mean having less cash on hand in the present, but potentially avoids financial trouble down the road. Conversely, borrowing provides quick access to funds now; however if payments are not made in full and on time it could create prolonged problems with debt repayment. Ultimately, saving is often considered the safer option for making major purchases.
Have I checked the interest rates?
Before taking the plunge and borrowing money, take a look at that all-important APR. Keep in mind interest rates can vary dramatically - so make sure you research what sort of additional cost is involved with taking out your loan to ensure it fits within your budget!
Switching your credit card
Take advantage of low-interest credit cards to save yourself some money! Doing the research, you may even find a card with 0% APR - however this won't last forever. Make sure that if you switch providers and get one at zero percent interest, make it your priority to pay off debt during that period or else once it ends, interest rates will be added in full force.
Saving for a rainy day
Don't let debt be a factor in your future plans. A smart money move is to start putting away just a little bit each week - every penny counts! For example, squirreling £5 per week adds up over time; by the end of one year you'll have saved an impressive total of £260 (and if placed into savings that could grow even more!).
Don’t bury your head in the sand
Don't let your dilemma fester. If you find yourself in trouble, seek out professional advice to get back on track. Advice debt services are well-equipped with experts who specialise in helping people resolve issues quickly and discreetly – so don’t hesitate to reach out for guidance!
