Debt Relief Order

Hi i am about 3,000 in debt on JSA single private renting no assets need to get a debt relief order and was planning to do this as my debts are getting the better of me as only getting 50 a week JSA. But got 6,000 compensation unexpectedly two months ago which has been used to pay money back and buy essentials for kids. Only have 15000 left which i want to keep to pay for deposit on next rent. But a. its too little to pay off rest of debts and b. does it mean i cant get a debt relief order now as i have had that money. ? Really worried has anyone any ideas am also worried i wont get income based JSa as my contributions is about to run out.
Any ideas welcome.

  • Hiya,

    You have to have no more than fifty pounds a months excess and no assets over 300 so you won't be able to with the compensation. Sorry :(
  • even though the compensation has more or less gone ????
