Listening ot Radio 4s Money Box prog this afternoon with our Martin on it. I was confused when it was said that you have to have a debt of £5000 or more to go BR? I thought it was lot lower? HSBC have petitioned me for £3.5K plus £3K legal fees.

It's £750 for a creditor to make you BR, if you petition yourself there's no minimum.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0

No - I believe that a debt relief something thats going to be new (eventually) is something like that, debts a max of £5k - its not BR or and IVA, but a different, legal way.
Will look for some further info - theres something on the DFW board.0 -
I thinks that the DRO is a max of £15k
I really don't know what Martin was talking about at £5k

Just listened and it was the women from National Debtline who said that, not Martin. :eek::eek::eek::eek:
And Administration Order has a legal minimum of £5,000. Perhaps she confused them?Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB

Ah I'm still surprised that Martin didn't correct her, and the presenter repeated it I think. I was driving at the time with half an ear on the radio."What does not kill you makes you stronger"0

Just to back up what has been said you can declare Br for debts for £750 or more, not seen anything in the DRO text to change that so can only assume its the same, unless someone has seen anythin differant, and point us too itThats it, i am done, Blind-as-a-Bat has left the forum, for good this time, there is no way I can recover this account, as the password was random, and not recorded, and the email used no longer exits, nor can be recovered to recover the account, goodbye all ………….
