Monthly Expenditure Help

trustus

Hey guys, not sure of this is in the right section but couldn't think of where else it could be best placed.

Filling in a monthly expenditure form in the case of a debt matter and I am looking for some expenditure guidelines, or acceptable amounts for the various expenditures one has every month. I remember seeing something like that on here before but can't seem to find it again.

Just looking for something to act on as guide.

Thanks

Hi, this should help. It will take you to the budget tool and statement of affairs (SOA). Once you fill out the soa, post it here and we'll go through it and try to find ways you can cut down your budget.

National Debtline have some guidance on figures in their self-help pack

It is better to use their templates rather than the creditor's as the creditor will be trying to get information to decide whether a court claim would get them anywhere and so they often ask questions on their form that they it is really not in your interest to answer.
