Hello all,
I hope I've done this right. Here's my oh & my soa based on 2 adults, 2 children & 2 cats (currently living with my parents). We're in a hostel so have low elec, but have to pay for laundry. Exempt from ctax until we are rehoused.
Household & joint debts are on both, but personal debts are on our own soa's.

Hope some of that helps I am sure some one will be along with some more ideas soon.Namaste DeeDee x0 -
Hi Spooky. Something seems wrong here and your OH could end up with IPA. You have the car listed as an asset in both SOA's, who's name is it in,it should go on that one only and also it isn't as asset because its on HP so doesn't really belong to either of you yet. If the car is in OH's name then put all the expenses on his SOA. I also think you should put something down for petrol because I'm sure the company doesn't pay for his personal use. Put it down anyway.
Once you get rehoused you can do another SOA putting in more realistic costs for gas, elec, water, phone etc.

You also have rent at £496 on each SOA, making a total of £992, for staying a hostel???? is this right???, groceries of £500 on each SOA????, car HP on both???, I think you need to redo the SOA, because you both can't be paying these amounts, surely you need to divide them up between you both?Aug GC £63.23/£200, Total Savings £00

Millie the way they have done this is perfectly correct as they are joint household expenses and they have put each others contribution to those expenses on the SOA's.BSCno.87The only stupid question is an unasked oneLoving life as a Kernow Hippy0

If the car is in OH's name then put all the expenses on his SOA. The car is in joint names, but I can put it on one sao. I will remove it as an asset from both.
I also think you should put something down for petrol because I'm sure the company doesn't pay for his personal use. Put it down anyway. I think he gets about 50 miles pm so I can put £40 which is £10 a week.
Once you get rehoused you can do another SOA putting in more realistic costs for gas, elec, water, phone etc. Do I do this when we see the OR or when we have moved?
I've done the soa as Tigerfeet said, this was how I'd been advised. I do realise that oh may get an IPA but not sure how to get "round" that. If he does, it's not a great loss and there are other things to be added at a later date. i.e: the CSA are reassessing his mtce due to recent payrise. The 125 is for arrears as he was below the threshold for current mtce, but this could change. Once that is done, they want to reassess the amount we're (he's)paying for arrears. Also as mentioned when we move we'll have utilities & ctax to pay.BSC 289A life lived in fear is a life not living!Proud to have dealt with my debts.0 -
I dont think it is right that you have a deficit on yours. The court will look at ti and see that you still cant affford your bills, is there any way you can re jig it to make income equal expenditure?
When do you think you will be in your new home? Before br?0 -

It's hard to work out when you pool everything, but need to make it look acceptable...
When do you think you will be in your new home? Before br? We've been told that it takes up to a yr. We've been here for 5mths now, so we will be here when we go br. Date booked for 29th OctBSC 289A life lived in fear is a life not living!Proud to have dealt with my debts.0
