You should include monies for your haircuts, etc and also for your contents insurance - you can pay these once you're not making your monthly debt payments.
You don't need to disclose partners earnings to the OR, you are allowed to contribute up to 50% of your reasonable household living costs.
Are all the debts in your sole name?AD March 2014

Do you have proof that you didn't purchase it? If so it is not your asset and should go under vehicles you have use of on the BR forms.

Some thoughts for you.BSCno.87The only stupid question is an unasked oneLoving life as a Kernow Hippy0 -
Hi thanks for the help,
The income and expenses is both mine and my partners as I would told they would require this information even though it's just me deal ring BR, my salary wouldn't even cover childcare lol,
The extra child expense is my partners to his ex partner for maintaence payments,
Il amend and add the things like car tax haircuts iv never put a budget for these as we can never afford them, hence why I'm here now robbing of Peter to pay Paul!!
With the above figures does this stand a chance for BR? Iv looked in to debt management today and the monthly payment would still leave us with nothing every month so how can they say this is stress free?
My heads needs to pop

Are the debts listed all in your sole name?AD March 2014

Hi yes they are all in my name0
-
£90 a month for clothing is high!0
-
Even with 3 children? Age 8,7,2? The debt tool said this was average?0
-
-
Hi - just a little point - your SOA says 2 children not 3?0
-
OP is very far away from being able to contribute 50% to the household on their wage, regardless of clothing budget and child numbers though.AD March 2014
