  • Just thought I'd give a little update on things....

    I've had a brief chat with the OR and don't have my full interview until Sept 13th. They think the tenant in my flat will be ok to stay until the end of the tenancy or she can leave before if she wants - the agent has to hold on to the rent for now and then the OR will pass it on to another company to manage.

    I can keep my car!! Utterly delighted. Parkers has it at £2060 (poor condition) and so the OR said she would exempt that from the BR.

    And I opened my Co-op account last week and they have been fantastic so far - my internet banking is up and running - although I have no card yet and it has no money in! Will get paid into it for the first time on Friday and this is where my new way of life begins!! I'm pretty sure I'll have to pay an IPA - as my interview is not for a while, will they backdate it to my BR date?

    Still slightly concerned about getting a BRU - although my debt from gambling is about 5% and so I'm hoping not but I'm working to the thought that I will get one and then if I don't that's a bonus.

    I feel better already - although this week has been so hard with no access to any money and so living very frugally - but this is how I intend to be from now on.

    THANKS again for everyone's help - I couldn't have done it without you all!
