Have read lots about early discharge and just wondering about this part where creditors can object to ED..?
Why would a creditor object? And what happens then?
Is it just the case that rather than being discharged early you have to do the full 12 mnths?
Thanks to all |

Thanks everyone for your help.
I too agree ED is a priviledge and I woudnt expect it at all.
I havent used credit for well over 6 years so Im hoping Id be slightly more in the 'good books' at least.
Thanks again!!

I don't think creditors object very often as they probably don't even answer the ORs request regarding an ED.
The only reasons I can think of an objection are:
- The creditor thinks they may get some money i.e. you are not paying an IPA now but may before your receive your AD
- You were somehow dishonest with the creditor before you declared BR
- You used credit to pay the BR fee
The objection has to be legitimate so it can't just be a case of the creditor saying they don't want you to get an ED.
If the creditor does object with a legitimate reason then you won't get an ED and will need to do the full 12 months BR.
As Richard says an ED is a bonus rather than something that is expected. 12 months is not that long to be BR in any case especially when all of your debts are written off and you get a fresh start in your financial life. |

Hi
I always say that BR is for 12 months - you are not entitled as a right to an early discharge. Sorry if that is a bit blunt!
A creditor could object if they thought there were some assets to be sold and a slim chance of getting some money from the sale of said assets.
I personally would not bank on ED and then if it happens, it is a bonus ball!!
Good luck and do not stress, Richard
