What is a debt relief order?

A Debt Relief Order (DRO) is a low-cost solution for people with little spare income and few assets. Repayments pause for 12 months, then qualifying debts are written off completely.

You may be eligible if:

- Total debts under £50,000

- Vehicle worth under £4,000

- Other assets under £2,000

- Less than £75 left each month after essentials

How it works:
Creditors stop chasing payments for 12 months. If your situation hasn't improved, qualifying debts are written off. Not all debts qualify — speak to an advisor to check.

I was at my wits end dealing with all my debts when I got in touch with CAM... I was really impressed with the advice and time which was given to me from Nathan Jacketts. I have been going around in a cycle of credit card debit for as long as I can remember. I originally wanted a loan, but discovered they are other options available to me that I was not aware of. I now have all my debts consolidated into an IVA paying one affordable repayment of £155 a month. This has changed my life, I now dont have to stress each month managing 5 to 6 separate payments going out each month. I highly recommend CAM and Nathan for not judging me 👍

Rebecca

Really helped me more than i could imagine and taken a big part of my stresses away ..... always been put off as i struggle to manage stuff like this my self, making phone calls ect I have not had to do anything and a big thank you to Nathan for listening and helping me. I cant express how happy i am over all this. I would highly recomend  care about money as this was a big part in my life i could never get over after so many years. Again thank you so much.

Highly recommend Care About Money, I had a bailiff at my property over a parking fine at 5.20pm, I found care about money online and gave them a call. Spoke initially with Eli, who was beyond incredible and gave me advice on what I needed to do and what my options were he arranged a priority phone call for the following morning at 9.30 where Justin , was equally as incredible we went through everything thoroughly and he explained my options and started the process. Immediately they contacted the creditors on my behalf and got me legal protection meaning I had time to come up with a plan on what to do but stopping the company/companies from contacting me in any form or removing assets. Every single person I dealt with has so much compassion and genuine empathy. They were so respectful and helpful.
