[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 113728, member: 2672"] Hi [USER=22372]@dawn25[/USER] You can actually start the suitability test early and given your circumstances, I would advise doing this now if you can. I am not 100% sure of the technicalities around debt orders, but it may mean you on the face of it that you would not pass the suitability test based on section 5 of the suitability assessment: [ATTACH type="full" alt="C7A12F28-46F4-4DEE-AD07-7056D03AF402.jpeg"]4020[/ATTACH] However, you have mitigating circumstances and the SRA will consider those. It will be important to line up any documentation that proves the abuse, and any character references that may be able to support your application who were aware of the circumstances you experienced and can provide a testimony to suggest without these circumstances there would be no reason to question your suitability. You’d still need to declare the debt order in 2025, even if it had expired and so I think it would be best to start this process sooner rather than later. This page on the SRA website might be worth a read: [URL]https://www.sra.org.uk/become-solicitor/character-and-suitability/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
