Bankruptcy discharge advice

Hi. I am due to be discharged from bankruptcy in about a month's time. I wasn't put on a payment plan at any point during the bankruptcy. I was thinking about temporarily working as a deliveroo courier to put a modest amount away for Christmas and to build a bit of a savings buffer. If I were to start soon then I wouldn't expect to be paid until after discharge, however, I will have done some shifts during the bankruptcy. I'm unsure whether I would need to notify the OR.... If so I'd obviously rather hold off a bit as I can't afford to trigger a payment plan for the sake of a few weeks.
Any advice appreciated
Thanks!

    Hi as you said an IPA has to be in place before discharge
    If I remember rightly you need to inform your OR within 21 days of any changes to your circumstances, if course until you have received any payment there has been no changes.
  • Yea I believe 21 days from the change taking effect, depending on how you interpret the rule.

    That could either be within 21 days of you: Signing the contract/agreement to start working for them, actually starting to work for them OR getting your first pay.

    To be safe, I'd probably not sign anything at all until you're within 20 days of discharge, just to 100% rule out any problems later on!
