Soa Final Draft - Single Person
Lostboy02
Posts: 35 Forumite
Hello again 
This is my final draft of the SOA, i live with another person so the numbers for the household bills are about 52% of what the monthly cost is.
Will the OR ask for statements and bills to confirm my figures are correct? They are, but i dont have my gas and electric bill yet, we have only been here 3 months and are still expecting our first bill but i contacted the companys in question and asked for figures.
We dont have a home phone so i havent listed one? should i?
Will i need bank statements for the OR? the most recent ones ? or will he want pay slips?
Thanks for all help and advice

I think your gas/electric are a bit high so i would be tempted to lower them but increase the amounts i have suggested so that your balance is still the same.DxFree impartial debt advice available from: National Debtline - Tel: 0808 808 4000 | The Consumer Credit Counselling Service (CCCS) - Tel: 0800 138 1111 | Find your local Citizens Advice Bureau

You also have no contents insurance which is a must, especially if you are going bankrupt. Make sure it includes accidental damage and there is no bankruptcy clause in it.Namaste DeeDee x0
