    I'd take it as good news you haven't heard anything, they're obviously too busy to even be able to send out a pre-discharge IPOQ to check your surplus.:)

    Once you are discharged though, make sure you print your record out from the IS website as it's the only proof you'll have unless you apply to the court for a Discharge Certificate (£70 unless you are eligible for fee remissions) or your OR is willing to send you a letter. Some OR will, some won't, some charge, some don't.

    Then that's it until Feb/March next year when you can start your clean up.

    Your entry will change on the insolvency register at midnight on the 11/12th. Make sure you take a copy of the discharged entry if you can, if you can't write to your OR and ask him if he will be kind enough to send you a letter confirming discharge. if he won't and you can't take a copy of the entry then you will have to pay £70 for the court to give you a certificate, less if you are on benefits or low income. Then 3-4 months after discharge start your credit file clean up as per the sticky at the top of the board.
