If you paid the £90 for this debt relief order and it was approved would the £250 be written off or just reduced/deferred?
You can't obtain a second DRO within 6 years of the first one being granted.

No the 250.00 pounds cannot be written off.

Beunchico do you mean I can have another DRO before 6 years or after?
Okay. £90 seems a lot to pay if it doesn't write off the £250, but it seems from Buenchico's post that you need to wait 4 years. Step Change will advise
an you not pay £90 towards the actual debt? I don't know what I'm talking about here but why are you paying that amount of money to offset the £250?

"They must not have been subject to another Debt Relief Order in the previous 6 years"
