Dro help!

Hi just a quick question but my dro was paid and processed on Monday afternoon around 5, by StepChange, I have called them and they haven't heard anything back yet, and I'm not on the register yet?
Is this normal because I put my application in so late on Monday does it count as Tuesday?? I'm worried as I have bailiffs wanting to come in and take my possessions and I need this dro to be approved and I'm worried it won't be!? If it's been rejected would StepChange have heard back by now?? :-/

    Hi Missmooo1987

    Don’t panic that you haven’t heard yet, it doesn’t mean you’ve been rejected. If you haven’t done so already get in touch with your intermediary and have a chat with them.

    With regards to the bailiff, what type of debt are they collecting? In most cases (unless they already have a signed list of your goods) bailiffs can’t force entry. It will be a case of keeping your doors locked (and car hidden if you have one) until you hear back about the DRO. I hope it all goes well.

    Any update, Missmoo?

    The DROs I submitted on Monday were accepted on Wednesday.
