She doesn't have to. I am highlighting the expenses. Since she is going bankrupt it makes no difference.Why reduce if she dosent have to? Some months throw up expensive unexpected bills, better to allow some breathing room. 60 is not that massive for car maintenance, I had 80 for maintenance and 200 for petrol when I went bankrupt. Pet is fine, the OR isn't going to make her give up the family pet for for the sake of 40 quid a month.
Do you not see the hypocrisy in your statement?
80 pound a month for car maintenance is not expensive when I went bankrupt .
Every year 960 on car maintenance is not excessive? You could buy a car every year with an 12 month mot, scrap it every year for cheaper.
Maintenance should average 200 a year and some years may spike due to more expensive components failing.0 -

80 a month maintenance is perfectly fine when your driving 25k miles a year pal . A new set of tyres every year, two services and an MOT and that's nearly all of it gone.
Don't know why I'm arguing, have you ever actualy gone bankrupt? I have, I put 80 for maintenance, it was accepted. End of story.0
