Debt Relief Orders were introduced in the United Kingdom on 6 April 2009.

Aimed at those individuals who effectively have "nothing to give" with low income and low assets.

Before you can get a Debt Relief Order, you must see a debt advisor who will assess your personal circumstances. If you meet the necessary criteria for a Debt Relief Order, and it is deemed appropriate for you, you will need to submit you application with an approved intermediary who may or may not be the debt advisor you first saw.
