Hi all,
Just a thought, and forgive me if I sound a bit thick!
While going through all the posts I constantly find myself having to try and work out what words the acronyms are for.
I wondered if it was possible to have a list of the commonly used acronyms regarding bankruptcy so that I (and others) might be able to refer to them if stuck.
Maybe this is already on the site somewhere, but being a bit of a technophobe I would have no idea where.
What do you think? Am I being particularly thick today or do others have this problem?

Hi,
I am sure there is a list somewhere - You are not thick by any means -here are some:
OR - Official Receiver
BR - bankrupt
ED - early discharge from bankruptcy
IPA/IPO - Income Payments Agreement /Order
AEO - Attachment of earnings order
IFA - Independent Financial Adviser
BRU/BRO - Banruptcy Restrictions Undertaking/Order
Charge - a legal charge against a property
DPA - Data Protection Act
DDA - Disability Discrimination Act
IP - Insolvency Practitioner
AiB - Accountant in Bankruptcy
FOA - Freedom of Information
BIA - Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act
There will be many more - maybe Google and see what else comes up?
Good luck, Housing
CAB - Citizens Advice Bureaux

DMP - Debt Management Plan

I've made this topic a sticky as I'm sure it'll be a help to a lot of posters, and it can be added to when anyone thinks of any others!

Well done Emm, I can remember being confused at all the abbreviations when I first started 'lurking' around here.
I think this topic will definately help.
