Thanks Debtinfo,

We're 10 months in now and haven't heard anything at all yet. Does it sound quite positive?? All we had was our first telephone interview, when we were told our circumstances 'didn't make great reading'. A BRU was then mentioned, but only when we asked what the worst was that could happen to us. We've heard nothing since apart from the IPA stuff etc.

Can we sleep easy yet??! :-)

Thanks again,

C. x

Hi sorry if my earlier post was ambiguous.
1)it is standard practice for a second interview to take place if seeking a BRO/BRU although not compulsory.
2)When i say 9 months this is the latest that the process would normally start so that it has time to go throught the court system before the year is up.
3)The bit about it taking longer in certain circumstances is about exceptional circumstances where the OR could not reasonably have submitted the report on time. For instance, if 1 week before discharge someone wrote to the OR stating that the Bankrupt had transgressed in some way that was not alraedy known then the OR could ask the court for more time to investigate and submit a report.

Hi Tim,

Although you're not allowed to advertise on here, if you do know the definitive answer to my questions, you could post them on here for us. This would be a great help. :-)

And if someone does have the answer to this question it would be great as I know it's something that worried me.

I was told that if I hadn't heard 6 weeks before my BR date then it was highly unlikely that I would get a BRU.

Thanks Skippy,

It seems it's one of those questions nobody's really sure of-I'd love to be able to sleep easy now. I know it's not usually much to worry about for most people, but our circumstances mean a BRU would have quite a big impact (negative of course!) on our lives, so here's hoping someone can put me out of my misery!

I can't believe how quickly it's gone. I don't want to wish my life away but I'm looking forward to next June!

That would make sense as the OR has to inform you of the court date 6 weeks in advance and you would need to have the BRU/O implemented before you are discharged.

Thanks,

So do we think this is the definitive answer, basically?

In most cases you would have heard 6 weeks before AD, as if not, the OR would have to apply to suspend discharge, which would only happen in exceptional circumstances.

Odd that people talk of having to hear by 9 months in though. I've also hear people saying the OR has to have applied by 10 weeks prior to AD. Weird how these 'rumours' start and then get spread like chinese whispers! Hehe.

Anyway thanks again. Let's hope I don't hear in the next 2 and a half weeks as by then I'll be at the 6 weeks to AD stage!

Hi the bit about the 9 months is that the Official Receivers have an internal body (an auditer if you wish) that all BRO/U applications have to be authorised by called the Authorisation team. The innitial process should be started by 9 months in that the examiner must submit the application to them who either ask for ammendments or give the go ahead for contact with the bankrupt/court to go ahead.

OK, but people can hear about their BRU/O as late as when, in your opinion? So they have to put it to the Authorisation team within 9 months, and surely people should hear about it fairly soon after that to give them the option to accept or contest it before court and then discharge?

Hmmm...I don't think I'll rest easy on this one till discharge day-it's all too confusing! :-)
