    Welcome, I've made a few notes above but I'm not really an expert where I&E's are concerned but if nothing else this will bump your post up.

    I'm not too good on budgets, but you can add at least another £100 per month on the Food/toiletry/cleaning if that is meant to cover both of you.

    I'm afraid that doesn't matter. Your favouring a creditor by paying him and the debt should be included in your BR.
    *should* you decide to pay him back, almost certainly at a reduced rate, with your spare income then thats upto you.;)
    The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye. As the angels took your tiny hand and flew you to the sky-you forever left us breathless. RIP my beautiful granddaughter :(

    I'm sorry to say, if he transferred a loan for you and its now in his name, it is his debt and you owe him now not the cc company. He is now one of your creditors and as such you can not pay him. Saying that however, that will have to come out of anything you have left over.

    You don't say what your combined income is. Does any of that include overtime? It would be good to get your surplus under £99 if possible or you will have to pay a proportion of it in an IPA.

    I agree with you TD. I owe my dad money but haven't been able to start paying him back because I can't even pay my current bills at the moment!

    My dad has no way of paying the bebt back himself, i would not dream of it any way, i would live on the streets rather have my dad pay a penny or get in any kind of mess. I will sort it some how.

    You could try changing 'sundries' to personal expenses. I think some ORs allow that.
