No word from OR yet, advice please?

I went BR 7th November, the OR office called the same day to go over a few things which took about 15 mins, he said the OR would contact me to arrange an interview if they required further info but ive not heard a thing, surely I should have heard by now? I thought everyone had an OR interview regardless of how straight forward there BR was? Im starting to feel a little on edge just waiting around, any advice will be much appreciated.

Thanks

    Don't panic. My OR interview was almost a month after my BR date.

    And not everyone has an interview. If you have put sufficient info on your forms and you have a straight forward case then the OR may decide not to interview. They are massivly busy as well at the moment so as Pippa says it may be a while.

    Have you had any paperwork or anything yet?

  • Thanks Guys, thats put my mind at ease, I was under the impression you would normally have your OR interview within a week of bankruptcy so I was getting a little concerned. No paperwork as yet.

    I was told the same lexy so was very surprised by mine. I did have the advantage though of being given the appointment in their initial brief phone call the day after BR though so I wasn't sat around like you wondering and waiting. I could have done without the month long wait for it though tbh because for me that was the scariest part of the whole process and like you just wanted it out of the way.
    Hope your appointment comes through soon so you can put it all out of your mind and carry on.

  • I never had an interview, just the phone call.

    The interview is the phone call, usually.
