Hi everyone, I'm looking to go bankrupt very soon, not before time I might add, and have just one question atm about my SOA (my other answers have all been answered through this forum). I live with my girlfriend and her mother, but pay about half the household expenses including rent, as I earn about the same as them combined. How is the OR likely to see this, would it be allowed? My SOA atm is:

Income: £1576

Rent: £550
Household: £225
Electric: £30
Gas: £15
Mobile: £30
Travel: £116
Council Tax: £54
Clothing: £50
Hair: £10
Holidays: £20
Landline/Internet: £15
TV License: £6

Total: £1121, leaving surplus of £455 pm.

Thanks everyone!

Hi there

Have a look at skippys blog she has listed what she was allowed, but saying that in my blog i have a link for the allowable expenses that may be claimed by you, do remember that my link has details that are a little out of date and should be used as a guide only.

As Jenny has said only list what you actually spend each month, and no it should not be a problem you listing that you pay into your household equally.

Hey Joejack and welcome

I just wanted to mention a couple of other things you may be able to add...

Dental

Prescriptions

Housekeeping

car tax, mot and insurance and maintenance

Think you are only allowed £40 for clothing....also, do you wear suits to work if so you may be able to claim for dry cleaning.

Take a look in needafriend's blog im sure she has a list of allowable expenses, however you must put what you actually pay for even if they are not on the list.

Good luck and keep posting

Jenny
