Letter after discharge

Hi Everyone,

First post on here... so be nice lol.

Apologies if this has been posted but i tried searching and couldn't find anything.

December 2012 i was declared bankrupt, the AIB gave me a trustee to deal with.

Everything went fine with the trustee, talked about my income, outlays and the payment they would be looking for.

My first payment was January 2013 and haven't missed one since.

Today i got a letter from the trustee with a copy of a 'determination of accountant and bankruptycy's fees and outlays as trustee'.

Im not sure what to make of this, the letter says it isn't a demand for money, however it says that statutory fees will be settled from public funds or shall be due for payment from the sequestrated estate, where funds are available.

The form with the letter has a total of £360.

The letter does advise i have 14 days to appeal, the letter was issued on 24th of December and only arrived today.

Has anyone had this before or able to clarify what to make of this?

Cheers

Chris

    Sounds similar to the letter you get from the OR in England sometimes. Basically says what costs they incurred, and that it will either be paid form an fund that are paid into the estate, and that if enough are never paid in the authorities will foot the bill.

    You just pay whatever you IPA is and don't worry about it.

    Nothing to worry about.
