I know that ED are only possible for those whe petitioned for BR before 1 Oct 2013.

I went BR on 5th Sept 2013 and wondered how likely it is that I would get an ED. I had no complications with BR, don't earn enough to pay an IPA and have an NT tax code until April.

Almost got half way through but what are the chances these days of ED are they pretty unheard of now ?

  • I've always perceived the OR much like the KGB; walk as quietly past as you can, don't take the mickey or be a problem and you'll probably be OK. Wake either up or annoy either, then God help you.

    The OR officers across the country are flat out, they are always flat out. If they have less work they lose staff so the work rate is still the same. They tell just about everyone "You might get an ED..." but frankly, what's it matter? It is not even like you are out for 3 years as it used to be.

    Imo - No, I very much doubt you'll get an ED because frankly no one is in the least bit interested in you and you should be very glad for that.

    All you got was a year out on BK anyway... be happy, just keep your head down and your mouth shut and it'll be over before you know it.
    I am not offering advice, at most I describe what I've experienced. My advice is always the same; Talk to a professional face to face.

    Debt - None of any type: Bank or any other accounts? - None: Anything in my name? No. Am I being buried in my wife's name... probably :cool:
  • From other posts on here in recent months - ED seemed to have more or less disappeared long before Oct 13. I would say its highly unlikely and as the previous poster says - I doubt there is much point asking.
