    I didn't realise this. Can someone confirm if you are on benefits that you don't have to pay the £60. Does anyone have a link to something on the IS site to confirm this?

    Hi WelshLad, as the £60.00 fee for a certificate of discharge is a court fee then you can apply for remission the same way as all court fees. You can qualify if you are on a low income or have a low disposable income.

    For more info see here and the form to complete is here.

    There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.

    I will ask the official receiver to provide some kind of confirmation. That's a good idea, thanks.

    I did this for a friend late last year, it was accepted by Lloyds, NPower and a catalogue (I dont remember their name).

    You shouldnt have a problem, we phoned the OR and spoke to the person who was named as the reference, she must have sent the letter out the next day as he received in two days. Just photocopied it and sent it to all the creditors with a covering letter.
