Early Discharge suspension

Hi,

I have heard from the IS that they have suspended processing all EDs due to limited resources. Does anyone know how long this suspension is likely to last and if there is a way of getting the IS to process an ED?

Thanks.

    hi they are that backed up at the moment so ED might not happen sorry

    With all the staff they have lost it is no wonder if this happens. Unfortunately there is no way to "push" an ED through. I did the full 12 months like Curly and the time just flew by.

    Ten months and one day in here...not a sniff of ED, but I'm OK with that; as I've said before "doing my time" nice and quietly with no communication from the OR suits me fine. Sixty days and counting:).

    I filled in forms but have never heard any more. I went into the BR because it was the only decision for me at that time - I knew it would take 12 months, and fully expected to 'serve my time'. It would have been nice to have got an ED but its not going to happen now, so just got to get on with it

    I wonder if that is your office, or across the whole service, The loss of 500 jobs was always going to result in this anyway

    Hi

    I had a letter from OR two days ago saying he was looking to get me an early discharge. I was made bankrupt at the beginning of December and I have an IPA.
