An Administration Order is a way to deal with debt if you owe less than £5000 and already have a County Court judgment (CCJ) against you which you cannot afford to pay in full.
It is a formal, legal debt solution which means it is approved by the court and your creditors have to stick to it once it is in place.
You need to have a regular income with some spare income which can be used to make a single payment towards your debts each month (paid to your local court). The court will divide this money between your creditors.
Technically speaking an Administration Order will last until the debts are cleared and the court fees paid. However the Court can order that you only pay a proportion of your debts where you cannot pay off all your debts within a ‘reasonable time’.
The Court Guidance suggests that a reasonable time will usually be three years. After this time the Order will end and the any debt included in the Order which remains unpaid will be written off.
