    We can have a go, but what each OR will allow or disallows in an I&E is never 100% certain.

    An SOA for bankruptcy is often very different from a typical DFW one. Mainly because you have to build in quite generous allowances to account for the fact that you will no longer be able to use credit to cope with anything unforeseen. Plus the OR is normally more generous in what they will allow compared to a typical SOA for a DMP say.

    Post it up and people will comment and make suggestions. :)

    If this is for just you then ok. If you have a partner/children then these amounts can be increased,depending on whether there is any other income coming into the house or not.D

    Ah just read that bit about 4 in the house. If your wife is not working then those amounts can be increased a lot.
    Just added a few things,working on no other income coming into a household of 4.

    Thanks dalip.

    That is for a family of 4 and the 29.30 is my monthly subs for my golf membership :o. You dont need to tell me but I think that will have to go ;)

    The £200 for other child related is Maintenance that I pay to my sons mother. Could not find a row for that

    Discounting the golf:D ,i get the figures to about £115 surplus. I also upped your mobile to £20 and put h/k at £450,then added the internet to landline and made it £40. As those figures stand you would be looking at an IPA of about £60 a month. May be able to squeeze some more though, see what skylight or peachey say. They are usually good at i&e.D
