what debts are not included in a DRO?
DROs – key facts
While a DRO is in force:
you don't have to make payments towards most types of debt included in your DRO
your creditors can’t force you to pay off the debts.
At the end of the DRO period, usually around a year:
your debts will be written off
you’re still responsible for paying off any that aren’t included in the DRO - this is because DROs don't cover all debts.

Hi,
DRO excluded debts include;
court fines
social fund loans
Child support arrears.
Student loans
personal injury debts.
Debts incurred by fraud will be payable again after the 1 year moratorium period.
Rent arrears are a DRO debt but can be complicated if a possession order is in place.

rent arrears with a possession order (unless possession is given to the landlord), however, with social landlords, £5pw on a court order is usually the norm, and can continue after DRO in force
some landlords however write it off anyway, and cancel the possession order...0 -
