Who will be processing these if it is not the courts......?
I hope it wont be one of those beureacratic nightmares that we seem to be very good at in this country..... :rolleyes:
thinking of the CSA, Tax Credits etc - we seem to be very good at launching new things without the systems or technology to deal with it properly.

Its processed directly between the intermediary (CAB etc) and the insolvency service, submitted on line.

That sounds like a good idea........ it is going to make the debt charities and CAB very,very busy....
I hope they are going to get help from the government for extra funding.

It is going to make us very busy as you say!!:eek: No extra funding is being given :mad: except that £10 out of the £90 fee goes to the money advice trust to provide training.
Wow !

Hi all,
I see there is lots of people going bankrupt with debts under £15,000 not sure if its been mentioned on here, basically in April goverment are looking to introduce a debt relief order that writes off debt upto £15k without a full blown bankruptcy, not sure if some of you can hold off until then!
"Debt Relief Orders should allow people with debts of less than £15,000 and minimal assets or surplus income to write off debts without a full-blown bankruptcy."

debt doctor posted a thread on this a few days ago with quite a lot of info/detail.
I'll find it and merge this thread with it. That should "bump" the other thread as well so everyone can see it.Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB
