OR telephone interview

22bear

Hi everyone!

I have my telephone interview this Friday morning and have already submitted extra details and evidence to my examiner to explain and help justify expenditure figures in my SOA

I am aware of the average expenditure figures issued by the ONS dating from January 2012, but I know that there is another organisation that issues typical expenditure figures that many CAB advisors prefer to use instead that list higher value figures, particularly used for DRO arangements

I have seen some time ago in previous posts that Debt Doctor mentioned the name of this organisation and I did look at the site a wee while ago but noticed that the figures are not freely available to the public

I figure that being prepared with the knowledge of the existence of this can only help so can I ask if someone can remind me of the name of this organisation as I have forgotten and I can't find the posts on here that mention it?

Thanks!

Yay!! Thanks Fermi, that's it!!

You know what the funniest thing is? (well I think so!) I live in the same city as the OR offices and I've just noticed that their offices are just literally a 3 min walk from my flat!! Under the circumstances a telephone interview seems a bit daft when I could just pop along to their offices

I mean, just imagine if there was bad reception on the phone..I could tell the examiner, "hold on and I'll be with you in a couple of minutes" and just turn up in person...it reminds me a bit like that comic scene when two people are in the same room talking to each other via their mobiles!! LOL!
