Debt Relief Order
What is a Debt Relief Order?
A DRO is a debt solution in the UK intended for individuals with low income, minimal assets, and unmanageable debt. It effectively freezes debt repayments and interest for a period of 12 months, after which, if your financial situation hasn’t changed, your debts are written off.

Contact Parker Andrews for a confidential assessment to determine if you meet the criteria for a DRO.
We help you compile detailed information about your debts, income, assets, and living expenses.
Our team assists in preparing and submitting your DRO application to the Insolvency Service.
The Insolvency Service reviews your application and, if accepted, appoints an Official Receiver to manage your case.
From the date of approval, your DRO period starts, during which creditors cannot pursue you for debt repayments.
After 12 months, if your financial situation hasn’t improved, most debts included in the DRO are discharged.
Am I eligible for a Debt Relief Order?
Eligibility depends on your debt level, assets, income, and living expenses. Generally, your debts must be under a certain threshold, and you must have little disposable income and minimal assets.
What debts can be included in a DRO?
Most unsecured debts like credit cards, personal loans, and utility arrears can be included. Secured debts and certain types of debts like court fines and student loans are not covered.
What are the restrictions during a DRO?
During a DRO, you are subject to certain restrictions, such as not obtaining credit over a set amount without disclosing your DRO status.
