OR Interview today

Options
I am glad thats done. It's another thing checked off the list!

Well the OR called today and I have to say I was expecting a complete grilling but it was really relaxed.
The very nice man chatted to me like a collegue at work. He basically said he has looked over my SOA and everything is fine apart from he took my housekeeping down from £600 to £500 but he said everything else was fine. My husband and I can both keep our cars as they are not worth over 2K and we both work so therefore need them and we will have an IPA but thats fine and it is all affordable.
I feel like I can breath again and a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
Thank you to all of you for your help and support it really has made the whole process a million times easier than if I had done it alone. I will definatley stick around to pass on help or support for anyone else who needs it.
Thanks guys xxxx

    Well done! I too was surprised at how laid back and reasonable the OR's office was during the interview. I suppose they go through so many cases these days that the reasonable people that aren't taking the p don't merit much investigation. Good luck for the rest of your journey.

    My wife got an IPA, and we have always looked at it as she will get a tax free pay rise when it is over. 14 months to go and managing on our income, so the extra can go straight into savings when the time is up. Good luck once it gets set up and you are paying, it is just like any Standing Order.
