Dro and DFS etc
Options
Hi, I'm currently in a DRO myself but mine was fairly straightforward, and I have a friend considering a similar thing. She is now in disability benefits and satisfies the £50 rule. She has £13k on a credit card, 1.5 grand outstanding on a finance plan via DFS and another 800 on Yourplan which I think is Curry's. Can she put the credit card debt through a DRO and keep repaying the finance agreements and leave them out of it? If not, what happens to the sofa/ appliances if the debt has to be included?
I've tried to google it but everything is about cars.
Thank you

I'm not sure but I suspect both DFS and yourplan are just unsecured loans, if you include them nothing happens. Its only if its a hire purchase or secured loan that they can take the items away.
In my IVA I had a Currys loan (through creation finance) for a laptop, no attempt or mention of repossessing laptop was made0 -
If it's HP (and dfs might be), payments are up to date, for essential goods, the debt can be excluded and the payments counted as legitimate expense0
