Changes to Debt Relief Orders!

The Debt Relief Order (DRO) was introduced to help individuals in financial strife, with low levels of debt and no assets, to avoid bankruptcy.  People with under £15,000 of debt and little or no assets could apply for a DRO.  From 1 October 2015, the Government will increase the level of debt to £20,000 giving more pople the opportunity to use this process.  The level of assets an individual can have has also increased from £300 to £1,000.

In addition, the minimum level of debt for which a person can be declared bankrupt will increase from £750 to £5,000.

These changes are designed to help those people struggling with problem debt.

It is important for anybody facing financial difficulties, whether personally, directors of limited companies or partnerships, to seek advice from a licensed insolvency practitioner as soon as possible.
