any response to this q?
Personally......If I get paid weekly, I would calculate my basic monthly pay (after tax) by timesing what I earn in a week by 52 then dividing by 12
Or if you get paid monthly, I would just work out the average basic pay because you cant always gurantee extra hours and you dont want fraud markers on ur credit files
Hope that answers your question

Spoke to the credit dept who advised me there was a prob with the monthly score from equifax. Basically because I had a NOC showing there system couldn't inturpret the score so someone had to manually ok it however he has advised that as it has now been removed the system should generate a limit on the monthly basis. They score you every 4 weeks. How you doing? any increases?What's happening with Nextat the moment Innocent?Bank Accounts - Barlcays Premier[/B] - £1000 o/d, HSBC - £200 o/d- First Direct - £500
