Advice NI has said Northern Ireland must follow new Debt Relief Orders (DROs) rules applied this week in England and Wales – transformative measures for those facing the burden of debt. In his spring budget, the Chancellor announced the removal of the £90 administration fee associated with Debt Relief Orders (DROs) and increased the maximum debt threshold from £30,000 to £50,000 – whilst also increasing the allowable value of retained motor vehicles from £2,000 to £4,000 - across England and Wales.

We're thrilled to launch our new series of Adviser NI training sessions to help you gain an in-depth knowledge of Social Security Benefits in Northern Ireland.

Debbie has recently joined Advice NI as our new Training Manager.

As 2021 draws to a close, Advice NI’s training team have continued to adapt to an ever changing world with new methods of delivering and new courses. Advice NI Training continues to be the gold standard for advice training in Northern Ireland.
