I've made some comments above. Regarding internet, it may not be allowed if it isn't necessary for work/study. You could lower your g/f's contribution by that amount and take it off SOA. Clothing allowance is for you only so not sure if £60 is too much. Medical might be £25 but leave as £30 unless other people comment.
How much if your girlfriend's total income? You may be able to decrease her contribution.

Internet - I kind argue keeps me up todate with industry (work in mortgages)...what you reckon?
Contribution yes happy to lower but will they not expect this to be 50/50? Her employed income is approx £800 net per month plus does a bit of self employment (but do I need to mention this).
Think I could get away with higher clothing allowance...work in an office so need suit etc?0 -
Because her income is less than yours she wouldn't be expected to pay exactly half. Decrease it to £550 (that leaves her £250 per month for her own personal expenses which doesn't seem unreasonable to me - see what others think) but definitely you won't get away with presents, emergency fund etc.
:j :j

She has a car loan (her car loan) which is £120 at month based on this can I reduce her commitment more?0
-
I just saw another thread of yours with IPA and SOA etc. Its easier to keep these things to one thread, because you posted this revised SOA I haven't seen anyone else's comments on any of your previous ones.

I agree we have 2 kids and presents not allowed & emergency fund.
Internet £10 up the land line to £50 - 60
Do you have any professional fees?
I would not mention self employ bit ( does she declare it? OK THEN)
Clothing you might get away with but what about dry cleaners? £15
Is contents ins new for old? it will go up when you tell them u have gon BR so £18-20
I would lower g/freinds contribution but not sure to what? others will help wioth this
Tech2If Carling made web-sites this would proberly be the best website in the world :T
Get your SOA done here.... http://www.makesenseofcards.co.uk/soacalc.html0 -
What if I am mistaken and my girlfriend income is also slightly lower0
-
so now your saying its not what you listed on the SOA?? you will have to be 100% certain with the figures if the OR thinks your OH isnt paying her way they'll come down hard as well as if they thing your being a little "creative" with your figures
I cant keep track of all these threads....:rolleyes:We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will0 -
