    No. It will go to the OR.

    Indeed, the OR may already have done this. Any pre-bankruptcy finance is covered by this, the money goes to the OR, you cannot personally profit from it (unless somehow all the debt that you owed was paid off by the PPI and some was left)

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    Hi if you look on the B.R and living with it board there is a lot of information on there.
    No you cannot claim, your O.R will do this, also don't apply to a company to claim on your behalf as the money will go to the O.R and would be liable for the bill to the company for doing the work.
