  • Sorry but not quite sure what the issue is?

    Your outgoings are very low - do you live at home?

    Aside from that - there are lots of things missing but you only have £300 of debt according to the SOA so what's your query?

    Well, you have plenty of disposable income if your SOA is correct as you have few outgoings!

    What is your secured debt?

    And this is why I would charge my adult child at least £40 a week in rent/board. As per my previous threads on this matter. More disposable income than me. Although if my daughter was on about £300 a week I'd up the board to about £60 a week at least.

    Pay your parents more and share the real costs of living.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
  • You have put £300 for entertainment alone YET your total monthly expense is coming to £276.50! Should it not be £576.50?
    Mortgage deposit pot June 2012 = almost there.

    Still not sure what your query is - you have £300 of debt which you could pay off within one month. Do you actually have £700 left each month? You never buy anyone a present, buy clothes or get a haircut?

    Hi,

    I keep going into my overdraft each month to approx £500.00.

    I am going to try and cut this down but does anybody have any good ideas on how to clear an overdraft?


    Thanks!

    This ^^^ is what you have said in a different thread but your SOA doesn't reflect this.

    I'm not sure what you are hoping people will help with?

    In August last year you were advised to cut the £300 entertainment bill - what else do you expect to be told now?
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.

    Out of curiosity what is the 300 entertainment money spent on?
