Schedule 2, paragraph Rule 13A

Where it appears that the debtor is failing to make payments in accordance with the order, the court officer shall (either of the court officer’s own initiative or on the application of a creditor whose debt is scheduled to the administration order) send a notice to the debtor— informing the debtor of the amounts which are outstanding; and requiring the debtor (within 14 days of service of the notice upon the debtor) to make the payments as required by the order; or explain the reasons for failing to make the payments; and make a proposal for payment of the amounts outstanding, or make a request to vary the order. If the debtor does not comply with paragraph (1)(b) within the time stated, the court officer shall revoke the administration order. If a debtor gives notice under paragraph (1)(b)(ii), (iii) or (iv), the court may— without requiring the attendance of the parties— revoke the administration order or vary it so as to provide for payment of the debts included in the order in full or to such extent and within such a period as appears practicable in the circumstances of the case; or suspend the operation of the administration order for such time and on such terms as it thinks fit; or require the court officer to fix a day for the review of the administration order and to give to the debtor and to every creditor whose debt is scheduled to the administration order not less than 8 days' notice of the day so fixed. Any party affected by an order made under paragraph (2) or (3)(a) may, within 14 days of service of the order on them and giving their reasons, apply on notice for the court to consider the matter afresh and the court officer shall fix a day for the hearing of the application ... and give to the debtor and to every creditor whose debt is scheduled to the administration order not less than 8 days' notice of the day so fixed. On hearing an application under paragraph (4), the court may confirm the order or set it aside and make such new order as it thinks fit and the order so made shall be entered in the records of the court.
