Was left in a lot of debt by my sons father ( all the debt was in my name), he's not man enough to admit that half is his, doesn't pay a penny for his son at the moment (long story) anyway what would happen if i spent on a store card now when im intending on filling in forms either next week or week after.thankyou

Its not a good idea as the OR will know like you have said that you intend to go for DRO next week. So you are spending knowing that you have no intention in paying it back. The OR could issue you with a BRO or put restrictions on you for longer.:cheesy: K2nga :cheesy:

Spending on a card knowing that you cant pay it could be deemed as fraud - you says its a store card but not what you want to buy - so if its something that could be seen as a non essential item I dont think they would look very favourably on it - I guess you have to ask yourself, is it something that you really need and would it be worth the consequences....0
