Debt Relief Order Check (UK)

What is this?

A DRO review usually looks at the person's debts, disposable income, assets, household position, and any facts that affect statutory eligibility. The practical task is to test whether the information supplied for the DRO route is complete, accurate, and consistent with the applicant's real financial situation.

Relevant law often includes the Insolvency Act 1986, Insolvency Rules, and the eligibility criteria and intermediary process governing Debt Relief Orders.

Key legal requirements

• the debt list, balances, creditor details, and excluded or qualifying debts should be stated accurately
• income, expenditure, assets, vehicle position, and household facts should support the eligibility case being advanced
• any change in circumstances, prior insolvency event, or ownership issue should be recorded clearly
• the adviser or intermediary record should align with the information shown in the supporting documents

Why this matters

A DRO can fail if the financial snapshot is incomplete or inaccurate, even where the person is in genuine hardship.
