    If there are arrears of over £100 that have built up because of agency maladministration, a PWC may be eligible for an advanced payment.

    The decision is discretionary and can be considered if certain criteria is met.

    - please pm me if you require more info.

    the NRP has to pay for at least 6 months which shows that they are serious about paying the money off. If it is down to non-compliance, then you won't get an advance payment.

    Ideally so. However, a shorter period may be considered appropriate in certain circumstances.

    Contact Chal1964, but I don't think you do fit the criteria really as Kellogs has said , if the the case has been going since 1997 then I don't feel you will get anything soon and certainly not in advance :o
