Do not know APR's tho
You are showing a surplus at the moment because you haven't included any minimum payments for your debts, you need to amend your SOA to include those.
Also, you really should try and give up the fags!
Can you increase your income in anyway - Mystery Shopping, sell stuff of EBay etc?

Thats £50 for TWO mobile phones (sorry should of made that clearer)
the clothing is mainly DD who is growing rapidly (shes a baby) but were cutting down on it but that is what we spent last month
Car insurance can not get cheaper - OH is on insurance as he needs to use car occ he has 6 points and we only have 2 yrs no claims due to accident.
Not me who smokes - tis OH, been trying to get him to quit for 5 yrs - still working on itlol
** at the moment OH not making min payments - CCCS told him to make min payment £20 whilst they sort his finances out, he can not find paperwork for APR's and hes sent off the account breakdown letters so waiting on files back**0 -

Can you please check with entitledto.co.uk about your entitlements. When my oldest was under 1 we got exactly the same as you but with a joint income of 30k. Surely if your partner is only getting £850 a month then you should be entitled to more.MF aim 10th December 2020 :j:eek:MFW 2012 no86 OP 0/20000 -

i couldnt understand the entitled to (im dumb) so i went to CAB and they said i shouldnt even be claiming income support job seekers so im gonna ask at job centre when i go (ob must be entitled to it otherwise i wouldnt be getting it!)
ill give entitled to another go and see if i can get my head round it
thanks x0 -
also jobseekers is £60.50 a week, so should be £120 a fortnight and how do you get income based when partner is working, it should be contribution based only. Child tax credits should be about £50 a week on that income. I get £150 for 3.0
-
You are spending a lot on your mobile phones - why not try a virgin package and get mobile, landline, tv and internet for £40 a month all in?
Baby clothes are expensive but join freecycle as you may well be able to get some from there (you need to make an offer - so have something that you need to be rid of before you can make a wanted request).0 -
i *think* we're entitled to HB but i dont have the foggiest so gonna call someone in the know tomorrow lol (im so dumb i could give dumb n dumber a run for their money!!)0
