How to fill out an administration order (Form N92)

The Form N92 comes with notes, which should help you to fill it out correctly. Here's some other hints and information that may help.

• PART A
• PART B
• PART C
• PART D
• Other information
• After you hand in your Administration Order Application

• When filling out Part A of your administration order, you can simply transfer the information on your statement of means form on your personal budget sheet. For any expenses that aren't listed, use the section marked other to provide those details.
• You'll need to provide all your bank account details.
• If you're a homeowner, you also have to provide the details of the mortgage and cost of your home.
• Your weekly or monthly outgoings need to be listed in the regular expenses and arrears section.
  • Column (a) List your regular payments
  • Column (b) List any arrears on priority debt payments
  • Column (c) List the amount you are currently paying off

    For example: £10 a month on rent arrears, £5 a month on Parking fine arrears and so forth.

• Here is where you list all your debts and creditors. In the list of creditors section, list all your priority debts and non-priority (credit) debts.
• If you have any existing arrangements to pay your arrears, make a note of this.
• Include the all the details that the court will need in order to distribute the payments to your creditors, for example:
• Account Numbers
• Creditors Addresses
• Debt collection agency details

• If you don't specify what you can afford to pay monthly, the court will do so for you. Decide on your monthly payment by referring to your personal budget sheet. Your payment amount should be the amount you have "left over" once you have taken out all your monthly expenses.

• Don't sign the declaration whilst filling out your form. A court officer must witness you sign the declaration as being true and the to best of your knowledge.

• The court you specify on the form must be your local court - regardless of which court your creditors have taken you to in your CCJ.
• You may need to show proof of your CCJ and debts to the court staff. Take any statements and letters you may have.
• Remember to keep a copy of your form for your own reference and as a back up should something happen to the one you submit.

The court will inform your creditors of your administration order application, and let them know they have 16 days to make any objections to the court. Provided no objections are made within the 16 days and the court agree with your offer, your administration order should be approved.

However, some of your creditors may object to your administration order. They may ask to be left out so they can make other arrangements with you, or not agree with what you have listed as your total debt to them, or even request higher payments.

If this happens, there will be a court hearing to determine if your administration order is approved. You will attend the hearing, along with any creditors who have objected and will be given a chance to explain your situation to the district judge and try to resolve any issues and objections.

Should your administration order be declined you might be able to appeal or re-apply.
