            Afternoon Dotty sorry haven't been about much recently been a poorly lass.
 You sound a bit perkier now.
 The key to all your worries is knowing what your tax credit will be, I think once you know it will mean you can actually sit down and work everything out.Proud to be dealing with my debts - DFW No: 712

            Hey Dotty - I can't see it dropping by a huge amount - have you plugged it into Entitled to.co.uk and see what it spits out. I bet it won't be the huge drop you'll be expecting!This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

            Hi Obi ben on that site but a little confusing, not sure if im entitles to what im getting now or not - as doodle says the key to my worry being less is to know where we stand with the tax credits and to know what we will be getting - im off monday so am gonna ring them then - if it drops too much wont be able to make payments on priority bills and costs of licing let alone the debts :-(Focusing on clearing the credit cards in 2018 :T0

            Sorry Dotty don't know the answer to that one as never been entitled to anything other than the basic.
 Can't you renew them online? Sure I read that somewhere. Or couldn't you pump your figures into entitledto.com (or similar) and surely it would give you an indication?Proud to be dealing with my debts - DFW No: 712
