A Debt Relief Order (DRO) is a formal insolvency solution designed for individuals with low levels of debt, minimal assets, and limited disposable income. Available in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, it provides relief for those unable to pay their debts. In England and Wales, it applies to debts up to £30,000, assets up to £2,000, and disposable income up to £75 per month. In Northern Ireland, the limits are £20,000 in debts, £1,000 in assets, and £50 per month in disposable income. It's a cost-effective alternative to bankruptcy, lasting 12 months with a £90 fee.
