I want to object to a Summary Instalment Order

What you need to know

Once the Official Assignee has accepted an application for a Summary Instalment Order (SIO), the supervisor of the proposed Order will be notified.  The Supervisor is then required to notify all creditors of the proposal giving them ten (10) working days to object to the SIO being made.

If you are a creditor who has received a notification of a debtor’s application for a SIO and want to object to the order being made, you should lodge your objection with the Official Assignee clearly setting out the reasons for your objection.  Creditors can lodge an objection to the proposed SIO to the Official Assignee within ten (10) working days of the date of notice advising them that an application has been made. 

The objection form can be found in the Forms section.

Objections should be lodged with the Official Assignee either by post to:

Official Assignee
Private Bag 4714
Christchurch

or by email to:
