I kept reading and re-reading this. Basically, this is the SOA that makes the most sense - your likely contribution is £100 per month - how much you make in benefits, etc is none of the OR's business as you're not going BR.Get free advice before embarking on bankruptcy: CCCS 0800 138 1111 National Debtline 0808 808 4000

Thanks merry. The only thing i wondered is if there is such a big deficit(£300) will the OR not ask why the partner is not contributing more,,regardless of whether it is benefits or not.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

Another thing to bear in mind is the fact that when he does go BR I will still have debts with CCCS to have to pay each month.0
