in Credit cards
Sorry if this has been done before but I have been searching and can't find anything. I don't earn very much but I get over £1000 a month in tax credits and maintenance - does this count as income?

    Anything that comes into your household is income.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    Thank you both, that's great - I hope it helps them make up their mind in my favour.
