    Re: DRO on the horizon

    With a DRO, you can only have a very limited surplus after paying bills. IIRC is £50 a week. Obviously any settlement will increase that amount, and this will have to be handed over to your creditors as part of the DRO.

    Thats my understanding, it may not be 100% correct, but its prettly close.

      Now wouldn't that just be the worst case scenario. You get a payout and your DRO takes it all.However is there a possibility that you could get enough to make full and finals. Of course if it were me i would take it all out as cash and "spend" it. Then go for the DRO.
      You mentioned bank accounts earlier,well for BR there are only really two options,a coop cashminder account and a barclays basic but that has to be opened after BR. I am guessing it is similar with a DRO.

        Nothing is claimed under a DRO.

        If you acquire an asset which means you no longer meet the DRO criteria, then the usual outcome would simply be the DRO being revoked.

          Then even if the DRO was granted, you would most likely end up with a DRRO/U for quite some years. Not a great idea.

              I've read your link and the restrictions can last for up to 15 years

                Re: DRO on the horizon

                Yes. Very similar to the ones in bankruptcy, which can also go up to 15 years.

                Most are just a few years in single figures though. You would really have to go some to misbehave enough to get 15.

                  Re: DRO on the horizon

                  Also the other thing thats been running thru my mind atm is that i dont know whats happening in regards to my granddads estate, i am under thought that everything just gets passed to my gran until she passes.

                  I cant see them not having a will as my granddad had been ill for some time and they have always been really really good with money.

                  I know my granddad did well with stocks and shares but i dont have a clue as to the extent.

                  Could thay have had a joint will????

                    Fair enough - as I said it was my understanding that the restrictions (some not all) were similar to bankruptcy (as you have posted above)

                    Didnt realise it brought about the failure of the DRO and basically put you back to square one as such.

                          Kila even if he left no will the first 350K (I think) goes straight to the spouse . There are strict laws about this. Someone posted a link to it on my thread Vals estate I think this is it Directgov - Government, citizens and rights.
                          If your grandad was as savvy as he sounds it is likely he will have made a will to minimise any tax liabilities
