Can the OR get your figures wrong?

Izabel

Sorry another question, We've just started paying and had to back date some of the payments, this isn't due to us it's taken a while for the solicitors to get in touch. Will we get that back or can that go towards the tax payments.

Just think that they will think if we've managed to pay it already that we won't need it back. I want it back if it's ours!

Izabel,
I am not an expert like some of the guys on here, I can only tell you what I would do..... Ring the OR office and ask them to get your file up in front of them while you are on the phone.
Ask them how they arrived at the income figure - and query whether this is the net figure or, as we suspect, the gross figure as the average of the take home pay is a lot less than £1900.
Explain that you make the figure less than they do, and that on paper your outgoings are more than your income. The only problem here is that BR would not normally be given if your outgoings are more than your income, just to get by.
If you get no joy I would go to the local CAB or whoever gave you your original advice and ask them to look into it for you and perhaps contact the OR.

We put the SOA together based on my partners pay before going bankrupt, which was over £500 a month more, that was due to him working 7 days as I've said before. He can however work more overtime, and would want to (mad!), than he does at the moment to make up the difference.

I will chanllenge this, thank you

I would think that that is what they have based your IPA on then. When the income dropped you should have notified the OR and had the figures adjusted. I would do this now before you get into any more difficulties.

Good Luck
