Debt Relief Order First Draft Application
Hi all,
I have had my first draft application since September, but have only just managed to come up with the £90 application fee, which I am going to pay in the next few days.
The thing is, when I applied for my DRO I was unemployed and on Job Seekers Allowance. I have now managed to find part time employment with a wage of £552 Per Calendar Month.
I will need to pay the £90, then contact CCCS and amend the application form before it gets sent off.
I will obviously be asked questions about my new Income and Outgoing. Does this seem reasonable?
I live at home, with my parents who are on Incapacity Benefit. They don't have to pay rent, but because I work I have to pay them rent.
Income: 6500 Salary = 541 PCM
Rent: 200
Food: 140
Phone: 25
Bus Ticket: 60
Electricity+Gas: 20
Haircut: 15
Internet: 25
That leaves me with 58 per month excess cash, which is obviously too much. I know I don't have that much spare a month, so I can't think what else to add to the outgoings.
Some help would be appreciated
