    this is over the last 3 months, but then if I did it over the next 3 months it would be about £1160 as its near xmas and not a lot of people buying insurance so no bonus or hadly any.

    This time last year it was about 1800 but in the last 4 months they have cut bonus back so they dont' have any job losses

    Why don't you see what figure you get if you average it out over the last 6 months and then last 12 months and go with the one that suits you better (ie the lower one!). It could make the difference of IPA/no IPA.

    Hi curly

    Please dont be put off by some comments-I am new myself offering a helping hand and 99% of posts are nice and constructive.

    Just a quick add really, on the actual SOA you have an extra box for bonuses and suchlike as it isnt exactly "regular" income-so put your basic salary in the income and an estimated bonus in the appropriate box. You can explain in the additional information that this bonus is not guaranteed.

    I am planning on Br in a few weeks however does anybody know what the official reciever will do with the account my wages is paid into? The account is in credit I do not owe anything in this account as I have no credit facility. Will I be allowed to withdraw from it for my day to day living expenses if the reciever has no interest in it and my bank allow me to hold the account? What is the procedure the day your declared bankcrupt?
  • If it is a basic account the OR will usually express he has no interest in it HOWEVER if it is not a Co-op Cashminder or Barclays Cash account the banks will freeze the account and decline to have your custom any more.

    If I were you I would open one of the above accounts and get everything switched over. On the day of your BR it is usually best to only have enough money in the account to cover any DD's coming out, take the rest of your living expenses out in cash, just as a precaution.

    Welcome to the board BTW you will usually find you get more of a response if you start your own thread if you question is not directly related to the original post, it can get lost.

    Well if you check my reply to Curly you will see I have adjusted it down. It costs me £65 a month for my hair.

    You are not a regular here and don't understand all the workings and why fors so in stead of judging why don't you go back to a board where you know what you are doing.

    WELL SAID, I could not have put it better myself. :T
