    Hi burnmount. Its much easier for people giving advice if you stick to one thread. As a guide a family of 4 (2 adults + 2 kids) £600 is acceptable so why don't you start with £1,200 and go from there.

    now thats a question and a half, there are guidlines but they do not really cover your situation. How much do you normally spend per week/month
    Hi, im Debtinfo, i am an ex insolvency examiner and over the years have personally dealt with thousands of bankruptcy cases.
    Please note that any views i put forth are not those of my former employer The Insolvency Service and do not constitute professional advice, you should always seek professional advice before entering insolvency proceedings.

    I think you should just look through your bills and put your best guess down and see what the OR says
