How many people are in your household? Pets?

Im in the very first stage of a dmp with cccs and for two adults and a kitty they have put down £279 but i expect the amount to be lowered by my creditors which I dont mind as Im sure I could feed us all for a lot less.

There's a link below the the DHUK site which gives the 'trigger figures'.

Payplan let me have £200 a month for food plus £83 for my son who lives at home in university holidays. I get £20 for clothes - nothing for son because he buys them from his student loan. I also got a few quid for pet food. I think Payplan use their own figures though - for some things they gave me more money than I asked for, some things less - it all added up to what I thought I needed a month though.

Same for me Poppy, they put down just £10 per month for 'going out' but then a managed to get £279 for food so it all works out in the end :T ...............if everyone accepts my offers that is

Thanks to everyone for replying I had put down £360 for 2 adults and 2 kids and just wondered if I was being over ambitious.
