Debt Relief Order

A debt relief order could reduce your monthly repayments to a level that you can comfortably afford and write off a large proportion of your debts in the process.

Debt relief orders are a form of debt relief designed for people who have less than £15,000 worth of debt.

Very few people actually qualify for a debt relief order because they're only available to people who have a disposable income less than £50 per month. People who own any assets, i.e. house, car, property, computer, etc. that are worth more than £300 will not qualify for a debt relief order.

But thankfully there are many other ways to solve a debt problem, and we offer debt relief advice with one of our friendly advisors if we think we can help you.
