    A slight aside, I know, but are you sure?
    This is from the IR website:

    "Working Tax Credit is for people who are employed or self-employed (either on their own or in a partnership), who
    • usually work 16 hours or more a week
    • are paid for that work, and
    • expect to work for at least 4 weeks
    and who are
    • aged 16 or over and responsible for at least one child, or
    • aged 16 or over and disabled, or
    • aged 25 or over and usually work at least 30 hours a week "
    Surely over 25s need to work 30 hours+ then?
    :T

    Sorry,I am not am expert,just trying to help:o .
    Thanks for the info.30 hours it is then.
    Don,t know how many hours the OP works though,if its close to 30 or not.
    45 hours is meant to be the normal full time hours isn,t it but my hubby does 60 or more so 30 would be part-time for him.:eek:

  • whilst you aort yourself out give Halifax etc a call and get them to reduce your interest rate. They reuced mine to 11.9% or thereabouts. Although not briliant it's a damn sight better than 24%. Hope that helps MIT x
