  • Thank you replying.

    Would I be obligated to provide them with bank statements etc if they asked? Something about providing them with that detailed of a breakdown of our personal lives makes me uncomfortable. I'd like to know if I can say no without getting on their bad side if they do ask.

    so we are living on my pip and the carers allowance my partner gets

    If I was engaging with them I'd send proof of those, but as for bank statements - too much information!
  • I'd also like to know what this means: Account ///////// Agreement Start Date 15/03/2010 Last Payment Date 30/12/2011

    When would that have become un-collectable?
  • Thank you.
    Having looked into the money we get, we actually get income support and child tax credit, my partner also claims carers allowance for me. I didn't know we got any of most of that until I asked my better half what we actually got.
    Having worked out our out goings, we are left with just under £2 a month.
  • Hi again





    These figures aren't publicly available. Focus on completing a budget as thoroughly and accurately as possible - if you are able to post a draft version here, then others can offer observations on whether your figures look high or low in particular areas and guide you accordingly.

    Should I include my partners income in these calculations too? Most of the money she gets is for the kids.

    They would have had to start a court claim before 30/12/17, which I'm guessing they did

    Thank you.
    I don't understand how this particular debt could have reached such a high number, they say it's over £2000. It's Orange so it must be a mobile phone. The last payment was made over a year after the first. My missis thinks she can remember it, she is sure that I sent a letter at the end of the contract, asking them to terminate it. It's a ridiculously high amount for a mobile phone bill and this is from a time when 2 year contracts didn't exist!
  • So me and my mum went through mine and my partners expenses. We ended up with a figure of £7.50 A month remaining. That's what Lowell want. Just hope we aren't hit with any unexpected costs but at least it's something.
