    Yep, you'll need to put ALL family incomings and outgoings on the SOA.

    I'd also get back on to Stepchange or the CAB now it's been confirmed that you're not actually in an IVA.

    The soa asks my partners income but not her expenditure do I add that to the form I'm confused? 
    Are you sharing bills etc? or do you have separate money. If you share the money and the bills need to put both your and hers on. Basically the better information given the better advice you can get.

    Yeah, hopefully you can pay it down with some budget adjustments; revise SOA with everything included as MX said

    If you can keep yourself out of the jaws of that IVA peddler that's a good thing. 

    The charities should be able to help, but so will the forum.

    We keep our money separate and pay our bills separately too the only thing we'll pay for jointly is for food.
