Online forms, 2 quick questions....

Hi all

I am filling in forms ready for Friday but I dont know what to put as "date debt was incuured" for credit cards and my loan (as foolishly I have lost the agreement), any ideas of what I should put?

Also for "what was the debt for?" can I put "various things" as an answer because with the credit cards I dont actually know everything because they have built up over the years.

any help much appreciated.
Thanks

    This one gets everyone and i was one of those too. Just try to guess roughly. I think this is more for people who may have taken money on loans recently but i guessed the year as i had had mine a long time.

    As for what the debt was for this could be anything i put day to day living as thats what mine had become but if you have bought any major purchases just put them down.

    Good luck

    Yeah no worries the questions are a bit scary as if your like me the debt was ran up over a long period of time but to be honest my OR never mentioned either items when i had my interview so try not to worry about them.

  • i put down a rough guess for when i took the debts out, and for what it was for i just put general spending and even told the OR the same thing and wasnt questioned
