Soa Final Draft - Single Person

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.Dx

    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.
