Thanks Jan
Craig most councils have a drop in service for helping with situations like yours.
as they are your only creditor I would encourage a visit.
Good Luck Richard,

A Debt Relief Order is for those with debts under £15k, less than £50 a month disposable income after priority debts have been paid, you don't own your house and you have no assets over £300. It will cost you £90 and lasts for 12 months.
Richard actually meant for you to go and research doing a DRO.

Hi and welcome.
If you only owe a small amount and have no assets and less than £50 per month disposable income then a Debt Relief Order may be better for you.
Speak to the CAB and they will advise.

is the council your only creditor ?
if so go in and visit them they may have systems in place to help.
if your total debts are under 15K research debt relief order you may qualify.
Good Luck Richard,
