    No, thats not the same thing. I'm talking about say an SOA where the debt payments were listed as eg. £450 pmth. Then when advise is taken an the 2nd SOA is posted this £450 disappears. I kno we've all taken/given advise on say phone costs been 2 high, groceries been 2 low & off setting them against each other, or say putting gifts under another catergory. But I'm talking of large ammounts from a budget goin missing. :)

    ohhh i dunno, i included mine in my first soa but then it did come out with a minus -1000 ish a month figure...lol

    this was my understanding aswell......unless it takes you over the £15000 threshhold......there have been posters who have owed say £18000 but by some miracle a relative has come 4ward to pay this debt......i wish i had relatives like that......do i sound annoyed.....thats because i am......

    Scarlet, seriousily life is too short to worry about what others get upto and the tricks they pull, you will get this in every part of life, i myself have pulled a few in my time as have most of us, look after and worry about no1 i say, let the others get on with it :)
