Debt Relief Orders (DRO)

Debt relief orders (DROs) provide individuals with relief from their debts by placing a "freeze" on any 
action to be taken by creditors to recover their debts without the court's permission. 

A DRO will normally last for 1 year and at the end of this period, the debtor will be released from their debts
 if their circumstances have not changed.


For an individual to qualify for a DRO they must meet the following criteria:

     -  The individual does not own their own home;

     - The individual has very little surplus income (less than £50 per month) or assets
        (less than £300 in assets and a car worth no more than £1,000) ; and

     - The individual must have less than £20,000 of debt.
