    Yes, sorry for the confusion we did indeed pay £90 for each of us. I thought it was one Dro as we it was handled on one form with stepchange and we have one Dro reference number.

    In that case it will only affect you.

    Try and get your company to delay payment till after the 30th.

    It’s bad show to go nearly the full 12 months and fall at the last hurdle.

    One DRO reference means one DRO

    If you had two DROs you would have two reference numbers, each with the format DRO1234567

    You would have each received a different debtor's notice from the DRO Team in Plymouth

    Check what numbers you have on the register, or your debtors notice

    If you give your wife's DRO number when you talk to them you're going to cause some confusion.

    There's two DRO refs, one for each. The wife's ends 23rd March, mine on the 30th March, I think there was an issue with details that needed corrected in mine so it started slightly later. A pity as the 23rd would have been perfect, 3 days before pay day. If it comes to redundancy I'll have to try to see if they can delay payment until after the 30th March. Bit of a stretch, but my notice period is 10 weeks and would just take me to the 2nd April, just not sure if it will play out exactly like that.
