    No you can't blank anything out on your statements - would be a bit pointless if they allowed that as people could hide things from them.

    Yes it's fine.

    They'd be delighted to make an assessment based on things being deliberately hidden from them.

    My bank statements show figures at the side that say ' Money In £whatever' and 'Money out £whatever' - surely that's the bit they are interested in..? If that was visible..?
    Unusual for them to ask for bank statements I think. Income and expenditure proof should be in the form of payslips, tax credit notifications etc and all your bills showing what you need to pay out.

    You don't have a choice if they are asking for statments and you would be attempting to hide information from them if you blanked some out.

    I doubt they will see anything that they haven't seen before.
