    'normal ' discharge is after 12 months but the OR may issue a release earlier ...you have no say in it.

    if you have surplus income i.e. if income less essential spending is available then you may have to give the OR some of it (say about 50% ) but its up to the OR. this can be up to 3 year.
    if the car is owed by your parents then the OR wont take it but the OR wont count in general the payments to your parents as essential spending.
  • All the information you need is on this sitehttp://www.insolvency.gov.uk/. Don't worry too much - its not as bad as it seems.
    Hope this helps you
