There are two of us in the household but my flat mate is obviously nothing to do with this and knows nothing about my situation. Do you think i would get away with saying £560 for rent? I can provide proof of car insurance, i have no no claims!!
Also if you dont me me asking, who did you deal with. I have been assigned KPMG who i hear are awful! And dont feel you have to answer this but how much do you pay back per week?0 -
i would quote your true rent and they will see from your bank statements how much it is anyway0

Get yourself a Co-op Cashminder (do it over the phone, you can use the Post Office to deposit money, use any cash machine, have DD's&SO's, phone and internet banking 08457 212 212) or Barclays Cash account (open in branch, use cash machine, have DD's&SO's)
The trustee will most likely want to see proof of your rent and how much you pay.BSCno.87The only stupid question is an unasked oneLoving life as a Kernow Hippy0 -
I have applied for a cashminder account so should receive the account number through soon. I'm not sure how i can prove my rent etc as i dont have a bank account and i just give my friend the money monthly0

I was dealt with the AiB themselves
He did ask to see the lease on my home and my insurance policies
He did get my last months statements from my bank
I was allowed money for entertainment (£16) emergencies(11) internet (10) and moby(30)
I have not heard that about KPMG
Get your figures straight in your head and stick with them
The allowable exp are different in Scotland
No IPA for me yet may change if I can get a job They are contacting me again after six months

A letter from your flatmate to say how much you contribute will suffice
£563 per month is £130 per week that is what you ARE paying
