Debt management

Under proposals in a Ministry of Justice consultation paper, Administration and Enforcement Restriction Orders: Setting the Parameters, people who need extra time to pay off their debts could apply for a new Enforcement Restriction Order. If granted this would provide temporary relief from the debt being enforced and collected for a set period of time. This will provide those with specified debts with some extra time and provide a wider range of payment options. It will be particularly aimed at people with several different low value debts, and who have had a sudden change in their financial circumstances.
