County Court Administration Orders
If you have a County Court Judgement and your total unsecured debts amount to less than £5,000, a County Court Administration Order offers a simple way of paying your debts in affordable instalments. To benefit from this you need to have a regular income out of which you can make the payments to the Court.

The procedure is as follows:-
• Obtain the appropriate forms, N92-N270 from your local county court or on-line at www.courtservice.gov.uk
• Complete the details of your monthly income and outgoings.
• The Court decides how much you can afford to pay every month.
• The order will then be granted.

The order is legally binding and gives you protection from your creditors. They will no longer be allowed to approach you for payments or take further action against you provided that you make the monthly payments to the court. Note that you do not pay your creditors directly but that the court collects the payments and deducts its costs before paying the balance to your creditors.
