    Have look at this.... You will still be discharged after 12 months..

    What are the restrictions imposed by a BRU/BRO?
    They are the same as those that apply to an undischarged bankrupt, namely:
    The person must disclose their status to a credit provider if they wishes to obtain credit of more that £500.
    The person must disclose their status to those they wish to do business with the name (or trading style) under which they were made bankrupt.
    The person must not act as the director of a company or take part in its promotion, formation or management unless they obtain permission from the court to do so.
    The person may not act as an insolvency practitioner or as receiver or manager of the property of a company on behalf of debenture holders.
    In addition to the above the person also:
    May not be a Member of Parliament in England and Wales
    May not act as a local councillor
    May not hold the office of school governor
    May not hold other positions as contained in other legislation (The Insolvency Service has no control over the restrictions contained in other people’s legislation or in the rules of associations or governing bodies or professions).

  • Thanks,,
    So do you think i will get early BR discharge once the BRU is in place?

    Or will i still need to tell them my income etc for the next 3 years???

    I don`t think you will get an ED, but you should get automatic discharge after 12 months. Do you have an IPA in place?

    No IPA.

    Then once you are discharged you should not have to notify the OR of any changes. Hopefully some of the more knowledgable forumites can either confirm or correct that.

  • Hi Help needed, I'm afraid having a BRO/U means they'll be no early discharge. Early discharge is discretionary and conduct before and after bankruptcy is one of the factors in the decision making process.

    It's possible for your financial circumstances to be reviewed again before your discharge but unlikely unless your circumstances do actually change or something is noticed during the course of investigation to suggest that your surplus is greater than stated at bankruptcy.

    If there's no IPA, after the discharge you don't have to notify the OR of changes, as Dojoman said.
