We are working with our clients, the Official Assignee (for DRO’s) and with lenders to determine a revised plan with individual clients (where necessary). This may mean a period during which payments are stopped, reduced or deferred. For some, it may mean that the commitment made will need to be changed, which is a procedural process that we will jointly to do work together on.
