 THIS is forgetting the 105 a month loan my mother took out for me when i was in dire needs, they would not count that as she is not a creditor??
 Some things will be low or non-existent on there as i live with mum but point out anything to me.0

 Some things will be low or non-existent on there as i live with mum but point out anything to me.
 your mother is a creditor. What work do you do? do you not need internet for work? do you not use car parks? you need to explain what those secured loans and hp are for...0
- 
            The HP is for a car and a push bike, the loan is not secured i just realised.
 I will ammend these details then up the figures you have told me to.
 That will then put me at spending more a month than i earn.
 Think that makes it clear what i have to do?
 I work as an air conditioning engineer, have full use of a van, also for as many personal mileage usage as i want.0
- 
            You may end up loosing the Car if its on HP, you need to check your agreement.
 It may be a better option to give it back to the company and spend 1k or so getting another car to get to work. I dont think the OR would look kindly to you spending that money on the HP payments either...
 I think you sill end up with a IPA of about £200 a month..0
- 
            sorry just read the last bit of your post, if you have full use of a works van then you may not be able to keep any car, nor claim for one. You live with your mum? are you single? any children (what you know about!) that you support in any way?0
- 
            nothing just me, i will save up and buy a cheap car no kid i dont think and a 200 ipa will be fine as long as i am out of debt!!!!0

 On top of that i owe my mum 105 a month as well.
 Do i put that anywhere, but other than that ammendments have been made.
 Still a few things in wrong category as i am unsure on unsecured etc.0

            nothing just me, i will save up and buy a cheap car no kid i dont think and a 200 ipa will be fine as long as i am out of debt!!!!
 Hi NC-Clio
 Bit confused ( not difficult believe me!!) but SOA shows 4 adults, 2 kids & 4 cars....thats not right surely!!
 Anything unsecured will go into BR ( ie will include the 175 showed on soa that you have noted as unsecured)
 Check out the HP to see if BR has an effect on the agreement.
 I`d add your contribution to internet, monthly utilities & food etc in your soa.
