    That all depends on who you go to for advice. Each CAB will vary from bureau to bureau, I guess for StepChange and NDL it depends on how busy they are, but for you to provide details needed, an intermediary to check it, may take a few weeks. It's then as quick as you can pay the £90 and contact the intermediary to submit

    Hi

    wba31 is right that it will most likely depend on how busy the organisation is that you apply through. I know our DRO application times vary depending on demand. We would be able to give you a more specific timescale at the point of starting the application, if you applied through us today it would take around 5 weeks.
