DRO help please!

Asking for my partner:

Debt relief order applied for and approved, 2019. A month before the end date, £4,000 inheritance received. Declared to DRO and then DRO was cancelled due to the money received. 
No-one is chased the debts at all which total approx £15,000. 

Credit report is just showing 2 debts, one from BT and one overdraft. Total is just over £1,000. 
What happens now? Does he just pay what is showing on the credit report if possible? No contact received from either of these debts. 
Does he just leave it? 

We are planning to move in together at some point (not yet) but would like to figure this out first so it doesn't effect me. Anyone got any advice at all?
Many thanks,
JAK

With only one month to go I would have been sorely tempted to keep quiet and say nothing about the inheritance, but I guess you did the right thing, and you are where you are.

Lots of creditors are still bemused by debt relief orders, they basically confuse them with bankruptcy and IVA`s, and end up not knowing what to do in a lot of cases, especially when they fail so close to completion.

They have another 3 years to chase these debts before the limitation period is up, and any defaults are automatically removed from his file, best advice is to keep ignoring them, unless they write to you, only letters require a response, so until or unless that happens, just carry on as they say.

As long as you have no joint accounts/take out credit jointly with your partner nothing on their credit record will impact on you.

Brilliant, thanks guys.  My fear was the impact on myself when we move in together. I worked REALLY hard to get myself and my son into a good financial position. So no joint credit moving forward. We don't have any joint accounts so that's ok. 
Many thanks for the responses.
