DRO through stepchange waiting times

Hello there,

Just trying to gauge how long the wait is from sending the DRO application to receiving the bar code. I've read on here it's roughly 6 weeks but wondered if anyone got there's sooner? I submitted my application via email over a week and a half ago but I'm
really impatient. 😊

  • Hi Pickles
    From what Stepchange told me it really does depend on how much the debt is.
    If you are close to the £20k limit i think they priorotise the application as interest and fees could take you over the top.
    I would give them a call and ask at what stage the application is.
