15 Minute OR Telephone Interview.. ?

Is this a new record? I sat very nervously awaiting his hour long call and it was over in 15 minutes, said he had read the stuff, everything was fine, asked about when the debts were from and the last time I used any cards, then he just said ok thats all fine I just need to go through this last stuff now by law and went through the stuff about any changes to notify him etc and then it was all over, wished me good luck for the future and the phone was down!
I was in shock, I had taken half a day off work to prepare and gather my thoughts and stuff together!
I am assuming it must be because oh went bankrupt a few months before me and he had probably been through all his interview stuff before he contacted me coupled with the fact they appeared to have forgotten about me and over a month had passed and I had to contact them three times which the eventually admitted they had 'mislaid' my file, but what a relief its finally over and a huge weight has been lifted!
So the start of a brand new debt free life :beer:

    Sounds like in hindsight they could have written you up without an interview, think my shortest interview that I did was 20 mins, so you must have had a fast talker :D

    Mine was probably less than that, but I'm happy to let you have the title. :D My OR just clarified a couple of points & that was it - it was so quick that I didn't even realise it was the interview until he told me what my IPA figure would be. :D

    Mine was 11 minutes! It was awesome. I too had angsted for weeks about the terribleness of the OR and she was actually quite sweet, called 5 minutes early (just too stress me more) and then was so brief it was untrue!
