Haircuts? Car tax? Dentist??

sadpootle

If you go bankrupt, what type of things other than rent, travel expenses, groceries etc. are you supposed to include in your SOA?
For example, because I have to travel some distance to and from work each day my poor little car has had to have alot of work done to ensure she keeps running; would I have to include that? And what about things like the dentist, hairdressers, car tax and car insurance, pets etc?




Life is waste of time, time is a waste of life, so get completely wasted, and have the time of your life!

Hi
You are allowed about £10 pm per adult and £5 pm per child for haircuts. You can put asome down for dentist, optician and prescriptions. A small bit away depending on family size for a 'modest' holiday £20-40. Car tax, maintenance , breakdown cover and insurance as well. Also pet insurance.

These links will give you some idea.

Hi,

On the BR forms i put car expenses under other expenses the CAB told me the allowance i was allowed due to my family they also allowed me more for food etc than i originally put down. I also got them to check the forms for me before going to court, they were most helpful.

Include everytihng you spend money on to live a basic life and this usually allows to have a little spare if you budget your weekly shop etc as some of the allowances are generous.

re -dentists i was allowed the £18 month i pay to denplan for my teeth,and the £10 a month dog insurance ,but i didnt put anything down for "hols" so perhaps thats why it was allowed paula

Hi tigerfeet,
It's not very often I query your posts, in fact this is probably the first,:eek: :eek: but what sort of holiday can you enjoy for £240?:D Even for one person, that's not going to rent a caravan in Cleethorpes for a long weekend, and it would be a very long weekend.:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

For £240 you can have a week at my modest home in leafy Lytham, close to beach with a morning breakfast of no frills (no meat) bacon and an egg. No evening meal, no tv, no en-suite, no towels provided, no heating, but a friendly grimace each morning..what more could you want???
I think most put down holidays as a means of having some extra money to pay for sky/internet/evenings out/living.
Anyway, if anyones interested in the above holiday then call me

:rotfl: Put your reading glasses on Richard

Though I probably could have worded it better. I was trying to type and deal with a fractious baby. So just for you

A small bit away depending on family size for a 'modest' holiday £20-£40 per month.

Does that sound better?

Oh!! and you can query my posts all you like if you think I have the wrong info.

Seriously - my last holiday was 3 years ago and it was with my ex's parents, his brother, his sister & her OH. And my 2 yr old DD and her 3 yr old cousin.

That holiday was a major factor in our break up. I got used as a babysitter, didn't get any time alone with OH and we got dumped with his sisters kid when her and her OH went off every night to get p*ssed. I swear, I spent a week reading Mr Men books and co-ordinating colouring sessions.

Villa wasn't child friendly either so was constantly on the look out for drowning children. That was pretty much my only alcohol free week in the last 8 years cos I was so scared of the kids being hurt.

We also ran out of money as ex drank it all......

BLTN's offer sounds like luxury
