in Bankruptcy & living with it
Hi all... feeling great.. had my OR interview and they were lovely !! yes you heard me right LOVELY !!! the woman we spoke to was great took all our details worked out an actual realistic budget we could live with and also upped some of the things on our SOA as she recommended we could probably do with more for them!!! we even asked her about other half going to university to do his teaching degree explained this would knock our money down loads etc...would we need to wait until end of IPA and she said that if our circumstances change to let her know and she would rework our figures simple as that !! she couldnt believe half of our debts or what the people were trying to charge us in interest and agreed that they are obviously living on another planet.. they have sent us loads of pre-paid envelopes to send them what we got makes a nice change you normally have to buy your own stamps lol...life at the moment feels great and starting to get back on our feet we have even splashed out to spoil ourselves and sent off for a Sun holiday you know the 9.50 ones woohoo a holiday !!!!

    Well well done and like you say you can get back on your feet now. I would have loved a £9.50 holiday this year but not earning much at the moment but may next year.
