How long does MAP last?

The 6-month duration

MAP has a 6-month standard duration — half the length of Full Administration and much shorter than Trust Deeds or IVAs.

Discharge is automatic at 6 months unless there is evidence of misconduct or non-compliance.

On discharge, debts included are written off. You are free to move on.

Credit file impact runs longer

Despite the short 6-month duration, the credit file entry stays for six years from the date of the award. Because MAP is so short, the entry persists for about five-and-a-half years after discharge.

This is the same six-year rule as other insolvency routes — the short procedural duration does not mean a shorter credit file impact.
