How Do I Apply for An Administration Order?
- You apply for an Administration Order on Form N92 which you can get from your local county court office. It comes with some notes to help you complete it.
- Put the name of your local county court on the form. This may be a different court to the one in which your creditors have taken you to court.
- The first page of the application form asks for a list of your debts. You should list them all, arrears on priority debts as well as the total credit debts, but make it clear if you have separate arrangements to cover your priorities.
- Quote the account number, and the creditor's address to which the court can send your payments. If your creditors have passed the debts on to a solicitor or debt collection agency, give this address for payment.
-
The other pages ask for details of your family and employment circumstances and details of your financial situation.You can use the Online Income & Expenditure Form to assist with this section.
- Complete the box saying what you can afford to pay, otherwise the court staff will decide for you. You can get an idea of how much you can afford by looking at what is left, once you have paid your monthly expenditure, on your personal budget sheet.
- If you are on income support or another benefit, or a low income, it is likely that the court will accept an offer of £1.00 - £5.00 per month as being a reasonable amount for you to pay.
