    The year six fee payments on the equity loan will be 1.75%, or £59.79 per month on £41,000 equity loan. These increase each year in line with RPI + 1%, so a 5% increase would see the rate in year seven at 1.9%, or £64.92 and so on...

    Your figures are too vague to give you a decent answer. You need to know his net profit for the last three tax years and you need to break down your credit commitments. What are the fixed car payments each month and how long is left and what is the credit card balance outstanding?

    Do you have any other costs, such as maintenance or childcare and do you receive any other income, such as tax credits or child benefit?
