Do you think i should insure contents?

It says im spending more than i earn??0 -
Hi NC-Clio. Your SOA shows an HP repayment of £170 per month, but it doesn't show the amount borrowed in the "Hire Purchase (HP) debt" line of the "Secured and HP Debts" table. This means that the Personal Balance Sheet Summary is wrong.

You should also check your HP agreement for bankruptcy clauses, it differs from company to company. Plenty of threads on here about that subject, so do have a little dig to see previous posters' experiences with HP, cars and OR.0
