    How did you get on with the Bank elfieb? did they refund your money?

    I got my money back after 5 days!!! It amazes me how quick they are to take money from your account, but not so quick to replace it.

    Dont want to jinx myself but..............

    31 days have now passed.......

    I rang the Insolvency Service (yet again), hoping they would be able to tell me for definate that no appeals have been made, but they were unable to. They did tell me that I probably would have been contacted by now if any creditors had a problem.

    Still not going to be jumping for joy for at least another week (time for any letters to come through if they were sent right up to the last min).

    Quickity quick update.........

    Just checked my credit report, and 3 out of 4 creditors are showing as default!! :T

    Just one creditor left (barclaycard), who are still showing my account as satisfactory even though I havent made a payment since March!
    Also my overdraft is not showing up on credit report, which I dont quite understand.:confused:

    Day 56

    Checked my credit report again, and Barclaycard is showing as 1 payment late, as opposed to default. Hmmmmm, the mind boggles?????

    Oh poo :(

    Recieved an " in arrears" letter from Barclaycard.
    From the gist of it, it appears they have no knowledge of my DRO.
    Double checked my DRO, and they are definately listed.

    In 2 minds what to do now, do I ring Barclaycard, or wait until Monday and ring the IS???

    Really thought at this stage of my DRO, all creditors would be singing from the same hymn sheet now, but it appears not.

    Im going to contact IS on Monday. I was tempted to ring Barclaycard, but thought against it, as I doubt they will take much notice of me.
    Hopefully they will listen to IS, even though it appears they have taken no notice of them so far:p

    Once you have a DRO they have no claim - they are just trying it on. Ignore them and enjoy your debt free life xx

    Payments to creditors found this hope it helps going to leave it till they phone then tell them the Official Receiver approves the debtor‟s application and a DRO is
    granted, all qualifying creditors scheduled in the DRO application will be
    contacted and notified that a DRO has been made. These creditors will also
    be informed that as a result of the DRO, the debts scheduled as owing to
    them are irrecoverable. As such, the debtor must not make any further
    payments to those creditors.
    If the debtor receives any requests for payment from creditors that are
    scheduled within the DRO during the period of the Order, the debtor should
    indicate that they are subject to a DRO, and as such creditors have no
    remedy in respect of these debts.
    Moratorium period
    The principal effect of a DRO will be to place a moratorium period upon the
    debts of a debtor, that are scheduled within the DRO. Creditors who are
    scheduled in the DRO will then be prevented from taking any action to recover
    or enforce their debts against the debtor during this moratorium period without
    leave of the Court. Once this period has expired (in most circumstances 12
    months from the date of the order, although there may be exceptions to this
    time period), the debts scheduled in the DRO will be discharged and the
    debtor will be free from those debts.
