Typically it is 6 to 8 weeks in total but can be a lot quicker if necessary and if all the relevant documentation is received promptly, as Ladyh says above.

Hi Melanie, it was only after finding this wonderful site,that I realised that there was possibly a way out of the mess that I had got myself in to. I decided to "hide" behind a username as I am quite ashamed of the position I have put myself in. Also thanks to everyone who posts on this forum as their contributions really do make a difference.
There is nothing to be ashamed of if you are in the process of looking for a solution to pay your creditors back as much as possible. This is something to be proud of, and I am glad that you feel a lot better after your chat with my colleague.
I think most of us have a different name, or at least are known by our first names.
I think it gives us a bit of freedom to be ourselves on here without wondering if anyone we know is looking in.

I don't mind my first name being used as part of my signature and by posters but having started off as Kallis, that's how I shall remain.
