    Not much comment on the SOA because I'm rubbish on the bits I can't find anything about in the guidelines.:o I can't imagine your OR would be able to cut enough out (if they were mean) to be able to go for an IPA though.:D

    Just want to wish you good luck with the interview. Most examiners are nice and friendly.

    Plus, make sure you take the opportunity to ask them any questions that you want to know the answers to. The interview doesn't have to be just one way.

    Let us know how it goes. :)

  • Hi fermi!

    Sorry not posting yesterday - work were mean and made me do some!!

    It went really well - he only questioned me about my 3 largest debts and said there was nothing wrong with my SOA and I wouldnt have a IPA unless my circumstances changed! After getting myself all worked up it was nothing to worry about. I'm kinda disappointed actually got my self all worked up about the court date and didnt even end up seeing a judge!Got worked up about this and it was fine too! Its almost been to smooth keep waiting for to go pear shaped! :D Veyr glad its not though! :j
