filling in forms - soa help!

worriedwoman_2

I am (still) filling in my OH's bankruptcy forms online and wanted to know about step 7 - outgoings.

Is this the part where everyone posts their soas on here?

step 7 only asks for general expenses, so am I meant to use the bit at the bottom - "If there are other essential payments, provide details of these payments " for the other expenses which everyone on here puts?

Any help greatly appreciated!

By the way, I've just spoken to a really nice lady at business debtline. She told me that if anyone comes round from HMRC, DON'T LET THEM IN! I feel a bit better about this now and will only answer the door to friends and family. Everyone else can go away!

is that a yes then?

Yes, put your other essential payments in the box at the bottom of the page, list them individually i.e TV Licence - £12, Contents insurance - £15 etc then add together and add to total

This is the template we use just to make sure that you haven't forgotten anything.

IF you want someone to check it for you then put it on a thread and someone will.

I too had the same query when I filled my forms out. I did as others above have said. I found that printing the SOA out from makesenseofcards was helpful and then divided each outgoing into the essential, other essential etc etc and ticked them off one by one as I added them to the form.

Maybe a little on the anal side but it was helpful to me and I was confident I hadn't left anything out.

I think there is a certain element of stress when it comes to laying your details bare like that and any method that can offer a little self assurance is worth doing even it does take a little while longer
