These are not publicly available I'm afraid.

Hi

Do you think it would help people with debt problems if they were made available to the public?

Personally I and others I know do and they should be as the idea is to help people manage their debts so why the secrecy?

It is laughable given the new FCA regime and policies that people do not have all the information available to help them.

Anyone seeking debt advice should have all the information and support possible.

As I am quite sure that you are aware it does not appear that we will have the new standard financial statement any time soon, strange really but never mind we will just carry on using the Common Financial Statement (CFS) for now - its the one that gets reviewed upwards on a regular basis and is accepted for Debt Relief Orders

Comments welcome

My take as always

Only thing that is not there is utilities a family of say 2 adults 2 kids could say about £50 month each for gas,elect and water, so £150mnth for the three.

Utility bills are what they are. An adviser will look at the past bills and usually put the full amount in. That is why there is no allowance for them.
