Migrant workers often incur high debt to pay recruitment fees for placement as guest workers in the United States.1 Recruiters regularly use false promises regarding working conditions and earnings opportunities to extract exorbitant fees.

Debt Relief Orders (DROs) allow consumers with debts of less than L15,000, and minimal assets or surplus income, to write off their debts without entering into a full blown bankruptcy. KPMG predicts there will be a series of quarterly increases over the course of 2009, as the economic downturn gathers pace, leading to record levels of personal insolvencies in 2009 despite the historic low level of base rates. Potentially more than 150,000 people are expected to enter into an Individual Voluntary Arrangement, be declared bankrupt or enter into a DRO during 2009.
