oh dear - to bad really - the examiner is trying to rush it through when really they should wait until the actual change takes place, but hey ho more haste less speed as they sayHi, im Debtinfo, i am an ex insolvency examiner and over the years have personally dealt with thousands of bankruptcy cases.

well i feel loads more positive just knowingthat the actual interview is over, dont get me wrong she was a lovely lady but yesterday i thought that she was a wicked witch from the wild west!!!
its like something around £380 a month differnce! thought i best check with tax credits!! i know what there like!!
So the latest calculation sounds one hell of a lot more realistic to me than the other figure!!!!0 -
Hi everyone
Just thought I would let you all know that after I informed the OR that my tax credits calculation had been wrong, I now have to pay £200 a month back which is excellent considering that they wanted me to pay £524 a month back!!
Just wanted to say THANKYOU to everyone whos helped me and advised me0 -
Great news hun, hope you feel much better.0
