Hi and merry Christmas, I've just been discharged from a DRO and sent recorded letters to all the companies included with a copy of my printed IS DRO details.

 

I have one question: What happens now I've been discharged and what will happen on my Credit Report? I know my credit rating will be very poor until 6 years have passed but are the places to whom I owe money obliged to remove and write off the amount owed or do they keep on in the hope that they'll get something?

 

Thanks but I'm fairly new to these.

they are no longer able to pursue you if you have been discharged from the DRO.

 

Looking at the FAQ on the Experian link below, the creditor should update your file to show this debt is no longer outstanding.

Thanks, thats what I was thinking but just needed a bit of clarity on it. This site has been fantastic in helping me and a real eye opener into what goes on in the world of debt.

 

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if a few DCAs were to "try it on" We have heard stories of them attempting to collect after a BR discharge !! However, you now know they cannot. Do keep any paperwork regarding the Discharge somewhere safe, just in case you have to send copies to anyone.

No problem - I can easily print them again as they stay on their records for 3 months. But lets just see what happens next and if they try it on, I'll gladly tell them where to go...

Still keep hold of the paperwork. You may find a few DCA's such as scotcall or moorcroft chasing you a year from now.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

I'd just love to see them try. They'll be getting a nasty surprise in the post if they waste their money buying non existant debts.

They dont care. Remember, not many people know their rights which is why scotcall and many other low level DCA's still exist. I've currently got scotcall trying to chase me for a debt that has been SB since 2005 :)
