    looks ok to me, the OR might cut it a bit for instance the life assurance, but as i say you dont get if you dont ask
    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.
  • The Groceries etc. bit jumps out to me as bit high, but you have not included how many it is for, depending on that telephone and holidays may be in question, but witout knowing the family unit makeup, its hard for me or anyone else to comment, unless you have said elswhere and i missed it, which by debts reply i guess you may have
    Thats it, i am done, Blind-as-a-Bat has left the forum, for good this time, there is no way I can recover this account, as the password was random, and not recorded, and the email used no longer exits, nor can be recovered to recover the account, goodbye all …………. :(

    Its difficult without seeing how many in the household. Home phone at 70 with extra internet a further 20 seems high...is it required for work ? Also extra child related expenses at a further 145 plus childcare at 100 could seem excessive maybe..

    Could do with an overview of the situation to put it all in context. (sorry if I missed it in previous threads.)

    sorry 2 adults, 2 children
  • Then the other factor is where you live DONT ANSWER THAT:eek::p

    The average for Groceries etc. is £100 less, but varies to where you live, both up and down, so is only a guide, likewise for the other things mentioned.

    but as debt seems happy to leave them, do so and see what happens;)

    I read back & guess that you have added mobiles in your main phone amount.

    i`m sure the guidelines have altered recently for groceries so not sure about that figure. The extra child related expenses will likely get questioned though I think.

    The link to old and new is here http://www.bankruptcyandlivingwithit.co.uk/balwifrm/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=77 but i must stress they are just guidlines, as you say, so should not be seen as a target to fit in with, every case is differant on so many factors

    And a agree the 'child other' seems high, but as they now count child benefit in the IPA calculations, on the whole they seem to be allowing more, though that exceeds CB for two i think, so yo may be right

    :o I dont think anything is that bad, though i may know why, and it has nothing to do with the link, its a shared server, so who knows what the others sharing it may host:o

    Will have to look into it though, as thats not good, unless you find average income and expenditure as sexy
