Posted - 02 August 2009 : 22:51:51 Hi, try and look at your bank statements to see what you actualy spend as it is harder for the OR to reduce if you can show what you pay, i know that this can be hard as many people have been juggling expenses between various cards before bankrupty. If you cant do this then i would say 1 adult/4children (Food/Household £400, clothing £150) or 2 adult/4children (food/Household £610, clothing £180).
the link below is to the spreadsheet that the OR uses to assess the SOA, it is a bit out of date so add about 5-10%
