Hiya - it's a bit sparse so kinda difficult to comment on.

This one splits things out a bit more, but it will mean we can comment on where things are, and how much and makes it a bit easier.Get free advice before embarking on bankruptcy: CCCS 0800 138 1111 National Debtline 0808 808 4000

Here is a break down. I hope this makes things abit clearer...:j0 -
do you have any debts
do you actully have 149 left at the end of each month and do you save it
do you really spend nothing on socialising etc
do you spend nothing on elect /gas / council tax or is that included in rent?
do you spend anything on xmas/presents etc0 -
My Debts are about £25k
My household bill are included in my rent.
I am now doing my BR form. I've been told you cannot put socialising, presents or anything nice on it.....
I do spend loads more than whats on this list but thats how is i got in this trouble in the first place!!!!!!
Also on the BR form is it best to list everything like above because on the from its different like travelling. Do i just put all car relayed stuff in that box???
Sorry if that sound abit silly
( :j0 -

MOT & Service 29 this seems low if your car is old and knackered like most of us have. My OR allowed me £60 but I had to fight for that (and I had bills to prove it). You might be allowed more than £29
Clothing 49 I was allowed only £30
Maintenance payments 258
Life insurance 13
Dry Cleaning 15
Dentist 8 My dental insurance costs £20 per month...this was allowed

Opticians 5 Seems quite low if you actually wear glasses. I claimed £10 (okay no big whoop but every pound helps!)
