Get back in touch and let them know that you underestimated the size of debts.
Discharged today the 8th feb 2012. View is much brighter now.

PD is right - speak the OR and explain as you've done here. They understand that people aare under pressure when they go BR and make mistakes.

They are unlikely to do that - just explain what has happened and all will be well.
