    A BRO is a bankruptcy restriction order and you get it for 'bad' bahaviour. The 50% thing is an IPA (income payment agreement) when you have a surplus of income over living expenses. It can be 50% or greater if you have over £99 surplus. So say you have £100 surplus you would pay 50% ie £50 per month for 36 months unless your circumstances change within that time.

    Hi Rubie-blu. What are you worried about that you might have done? We could most probably put your mind at rest.

    I was just havin a little joke. Although the one thing I am worried about is a telly i bought last year. All this talk about plasmas (those that have been sold) has made me feel very ashamed of myself - i bought a flat screen telly last november (I assume that's the same as a plasma?) I don't think its 50inch but it is a nice size. It was on special offer with a stand and my old one was on the blink. I realise now, I shouldn't have done it, and been feeling very guilty about it for a while now. But if the OR wants it, I won't kick up a fuss (I'm not that way inclined anyway). I just don't want to get a telling off for it. But hey, i got my health, they can't take that off me :)
