If you like you could PM me your CCCS ref and I will have a look over your account. I can assure you I will in the strictest confidence and I shall reply via PM
OH will not be going back to work anytime soon, she is disabled through illness. Hopefully this will change in the future.0 -

And what if the OR says I have to pay an IPO? This is money I owe & I am quite happy to pay something towards it but obviously it must be what we can afford.
Oh and I am never getting credit ever again. EVER.0 -
gbt,
he can't fail to be aware of your wife's position.
If you are struggling to maintain your DMP, you need to tell him. Maybe agree that he is first on the list when you are discharged?Debt free 4th April 2007.
New house. Bigger mortgage. MFWB after I have my buffer cash in place.0 -
Don't try to sell your car to give him the money or anything... I'm not sure how far back the court goes, but they WILL come and demand the money back from your father.
You may be able to continue to pay him back quietly, but you can't tell the OR that you're doing it. And, it will come out of your grocery budget or whatever the court lets you have for three years.:beer:0 -
I am just worried about what would happen to my Father in the X number of months (or however long) before I am discharged.
Don't know think he could make the payments, its £240 per month.
I wish I hadn't dragged him into this0 -

Sorry if I wasn’t clear, I wasn’t trying to be mean, what I was trying to say is that if you were to go out and get a new loan NOW to pay off your dad as had been mentioned and then when bankrupt this would be the caseAll comments and advice given is my own opinion and does not represent the views or advice of any debt advice organisation.

I think I'd prefer to pay him back quietly but he might hae to accept reduced payments for a while0 -
