Help with outgoings
jenniferross
Posts: 14 Forumite
I live in Scotland, have been declared bankrupt two weeks ago which i applied for myself and it was granted. I have my phone interview on Thursday and i have been asked to put a list of my outgoings together. I live with a friend in her council flat. I am only classed as a lodger on her tenancy. Below is what i pay out, does this look acceptable??
I earn £306 per week after tax, no other incomings. The only thing i own is my car which is worth £900.
Rent - £130 per week which includes, TV license, council tax, water, gas&electricity
Food - £40 per week
Clothes £5 per week
Mobile phone - £5 per week
Car insurance - £15 per week
Petrol - £25 per week
Road tax - £15 per week
Car maintenance (mot etc) £5 per week
Are there any other things i would be allowed to add in?

My case worker did not ask for receipts He promted me with amounts for clothing ,entertainment and an emergency fund
Remember to multiply your weekly figure by 52 and devide by 12 gives you the monthly figure
You will probably get an IPA with the amount of surplus you have tho its still good to have the stress lifted
