SOA pending bankruptcy

Planning on going bankrupt next month, after the collapse of my business, and marriage.
Anyway - at the moment I live in a 3 bed house with my adult son. It is a joint tenancy with each of us liable for 1/2 the rent.
We are both working.
He pays me £180 per month which covers bills+cleaning products (but not food).
I own a car, and a van - each worth about £400 - and the vehicle figures are the total I spend on both.
Do these figures look reasonable? Is there anything I can increase?
Since I'm working, I'm expecting to have an amount to pay for the next three years, which I'd like to avoid.
Not sure if I've done that right? CCJs are secured debts?Statement of Affairs and Personal Balance Sheet

Presents won't be allowed, you'll need to fund those from other areas.
£5 for your haircut, are you sure that's right?
The groceries is this just for you or both? That's very low for 2 people.
Your expenses also seem to be higher than your income, is that correct?0 -
haircut: £5 a month (no.3 all over) Yes
Too much?
I'll remove the presents.
Groceries is just me - but includes cleaning products (bleach, washing up liquid, laundry powder, toilet roll etc)
for the household.
Yes, expenses higher than income, unless CCJ repayments aren't included0 -

£180 doesn't cover half the bills and rent and council taxTomorrow is the most important thing in life0 -
He pays another 325 to rent on top of what is in the SOA0

But if you add council tax, phone, water and bills incl CT it comes to more than £180. Is your CT x 2 what you say?Tomorrow is the most important thing in life0 -
CT, water, gas, electric, telephone, internet, TV comes to 338 per month, which comes which is 169 each. the other 11 is contribution to toilet roll, cleaning products etc
Have i missed something?0 -

Would the OR allow you to keep both the car and the van? Could you sell the car to your son, keep the van but use the car whenever you want? I think that's what I would do.
Regarding the CCJ payments of £120 per month. That will also be included in your BR so don't make any more payments towards that debt.:footie:
Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S)
Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money.

Secured on what? Can you please explain the situation on that and what is the outcome you are after?Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB

Secured on what? Can you please explain the situation on that and what is the outcome you are after?
Sorry. I just meant as far as the SOA is concerned - CCjs would be lumped in with other secured debts? i'm probably confusing "secured", and "priority"?
In my defence, I have man flu
.
They are just bog standard "Court orders you owe 17k, to be repaid at 120 pcm" - no charging orders etc.
The outcome I'm after is that my outgoings are high enough that I don't have to pay out any of my wage for the next three years - just be discharged in 12 months, and get on with rebuilding my life.0
