debt relief orders

Is carers allowance classed as income in a debt relief order? As although all our income is from benefits carers allowance wasn't listed on their website thanks.

  • Yes it is an income. But if all your income is from benefits, then you should pass the "less than £50 surplus income" test for a DRO.
  • Hi all I'm currently due to end my DRO on the 30th of September 2014 I'm wondering where I go from here and what happens next I also had other debts that was not included in my dro but I have paid everything off and do not owe to anybody now will officially be debt free as off the 30th what happens credit wise now like credit checks rebuilding my credit back up as I will never be stupid enough to ever fall into debt again and I won't to get my credit rateing built up as quickly as possible without trying and being refused still so any help that you could give would be wonderful thankyou ��
