Hi,
I’m curious, I’m doing my DRO budget planner, living expenses etc. and I’m not sure if few payments towards the debts which I’m paying monthly are included in budget planner? I know I have to have 50 pounds per month left. Does those payments which I’m making monthly are included or not ?
Thanks and sorry for my English (not a first language)

As MovingForwards says, you don't include the debt payments in the budget.
The rules are, to have £50 or less per month before making payments to creditors. If you end up with £50 left after paying them then you will be viewed as able to afford paying the contracted amount.I may be wrong sometimes, I learn a little every time I'm corrected.0
