DRO 12 months over ....

I think this may be a stupid question so appologies for being a bit confused but my DRO was spent at the end of March and I have just checked my credit report and it is still showing many of the x creditors listed as Default. Is this normal or should it now read satisfied and recorded as a DRO?

I know I wont get any letter of confirmation my DRO has 'expired' but I dont really know what happens now 12 months on, other than I am not in the clear for another 6 years. Im ok with this as I have learnt from my mistakes and would never want to borrow or have a credit card again. Despite the fact all the past borrowing was to keep the rent paid and food on the table (not flippant spending sprees).

Thanks :)

    You may be expecting your credit reports to get sorted out a bit too quickly. I'd give it a full month, then check again.

    If you need to write, Fermi has some guidance on the bankruptcy board as a sticky, that works equally well for DROs.

    Before it disappears, I'd print a copy of your record from the insolvency site.

    Thanks for the info. I have now just printed off the details. But one thing I dont understand is it reads Court (Not Applicable for a Debt Relief Order) :eek: Dated in 2011. What does this mean as NDL assured me I was 'granted' one.

    I will keep checking my credit report for next couple of months.

    Yes, that's normal. DROs are not awarded through a court so the 'court' line is not applicable.

    It should read 'morotorium period ended on ...'

    Hi sorry to intrude but my DRO expired a few days before christmas last year I checked a few days after on the insolvency list and I was on it I assumed I just would be for the next few years however today I received and demanding letter from a collection agency trying to recover one of the debts covered by the DRO this is the second one in a week i've had. So I got out the copy of my DRO and rang them but they said they could not close the case as they could not find me on the insolvency register? I tried to find myself on there and i'm no longer on there? They asked me to email they a copy of my DRO. Is this going to be enough or I am now going to get harrassed by all my ex creditors are they just going to keep trying? This particular debt I hadn't had any contact from for around 8 yrs so find it even more surprising!

    You only stay on the online register for 3 months from the finish of your DRO, so it's normal for it to be gone from there.

    Just send the collectors a copy of the paperwork confirming your DRO and tell them to get lost.
