My pay wont increase when I return as work are paying me my full pay instead of the basic pay. So that is and always has been my full wage.
The car is in OH name and we are both going BR all SL and mortgage are in joint names.
OK I see now why you think you may loose your job. Is there anyway that you can ring the FSA and put a hypothetical question to them about your job and what their take on it would be. Would you be able to talk to your boss as well in confidence and see if there is another job you could do.
How difficult would life be without a car? How much is it worth?

So with just rent to pay and the suggestions on your SOA we've made then you should be ok.BSCno.87The only stupid question is an unasked oneLoving life as a Kernow Hippy0 -

Hi,
Tiger has a point can you do a job there that does not mean you move money around? The OR seldom tell your company, is it in your terms and conditions that they do NOT allow BRs... please check, if not I am not sure they can simply sack you, and if not in t/c why would you have to tell them!
I think once you take some things off, not haircuts though, as they are needed less you cut your own!! you can get to either a small surplus, and Child benefit is NOT included when paying into an IPA but you wont be paying one of those on these figures.
Yes if Hubbie gets job you have to inform the OR within 21 days or you will be back in court.:eek:Some Days are Diamonds Some Days are Stones,Sometimes the hard times won't leave meBSC 162:beer:Banktupt 22 Oct 2008 at 10am!0 -

House is in neg equity, well more than likely. Its on the market for £105,000 valued at 115,000 last January. Think a recent search brought its average at 95,000 on internet. upmystreet.com0 -

Pink it is both of them going BR.BSCno.87The only stupid question is an unasked oneLoving life as a Kernow Hippy0

Right a surplus now you take off £82 for child benefit how many kids have you got? as it has to be on the SOA but by law the OR cannot include it for purposes of an IPA. Do you know what one of those is? not being funny here as I had no idea when I came here what that meant.
Now if hubby gets a job he will need a car? cross that one when you get there, and then the car expenses get added back.
Looking at what you have now put up there, TAKE off internet it is not allowed by most ORs.. not the amount just the WORD.
Okay going on this I would now add back Mobile at £10 per month and add holiday at £15 per month. You get free opticians, dentists and prescriptions does hubby if not add £10 but lump them together.
Know sounds like I am increasing it again, but I am trying to make it look realistic.Some Days are Diamonds Some Days are Stones,Sometimes the hard times won't leave meBSC 162:beer:Banktupt 22 Oct 2008 at 10am!0 -
