I had my phone call from OR Office today. The lady was pleasant but matter of fact. Wewent through SOA. She said that it appeared I had consolidated and ran up credit on cards again by living beyond my means. I agreed to a point and behan to get upset and saying what a mess I had made of things she told me not to get upset as lots of people have done the same thing and at least now I had taken actionto sort it. After her comments I am really worried that i am on for a BRU. Doesn't appear that I am going to get a IPA.

What does anyone else think? Am I reading to much into it. I feel as sick as a pig, I don't feel like a weight has been lifted or anything.

Hi Tess,

Don't worry, you have not done anything that hundreds of others haven’t, Just living beyond your means is not in itself enough to warrant a BRU otherwise everyone would have one and they might as well scrap the twelve month discharge.

Hi Ptiti,

BRU stands for Bankruptcy Restriction Undertaking. Although you still get discharged automatically, a BRU will keep you under the restrictions of bankruptcy for any time period up to a maximum of 15 years.
