    I will do fatbelly, thanks.

    As I said I will keep this thread updated because there will probably be more questions I need answering, hopefully not too many!

    I'm just gathering paperwork together for stephange. I asked did they need credit reports and she said no they do that from their end, they want bank statements, DWP letters and debts with address of company and amounts.

    I am having trouble finding a Halifax credit card address the only one I can find on Google is

    Halifax
    P.O Box 548
    Leeds
    L51 1WU

    Does anyone know of a different address to use it should I just use this one. Mbna, Barclaycard and Tesco all have Credit Card Operations in their addresses.

    Beginning to worry and panic a bit now on my bank statement there is odd payments which my daughter transferred into my account to help me out ranging from £30 to £90 . Also I had a clear out and sold some stuff on Ebay , the total amount was £89 going into my account will these be frowned upon.

    Stress levels are through the roof!

    There's really no point in you doing that. This is a formal process and it's not a good idea for you to be writing anything alongside that.

    You also don't need to be too fussy about the addresses as, if it's a major creditor, the intermediary can just pull the address from a drop-down list.

    Obviously if it's a debt to a local vet or something, they'll need the address.

    What do you think about the payments going into my account from my daughter and Ebay.

    Sorry to bombard you with questions.

    I don't see a problem.

    Your daughter's payments are not income.

    You are not over the £1000 threshold.

    The only relevant question on the application is ' In the past 2 years have you given anything away or sold it at less than its true value? (in order to get yourself under the limit)'

    An auction is always taken as a fair way of finding a true value. Not a problem.

    Got everything through from stepchange this morning. I've got all the info they've asked for just filling the forms out.

    Now I am really worried about the balance transfers I done, as I said one was 6 months ago and the other one 7 months ago. When I first spoke to them they asked me lots if questions, one being about prefirenttial payments and I replied no. So on the form were it asks that question should I write no.

    If the question had been, have you done any balance transfers I would have said yes.

    I would phone them up and ask but I am scared of what their reply would be, I am scared incase they refuse me, my stomach is in knots!

    Should I just bite the bullet and phone them or leave everything as it is.
