Could someone help with a few things
If I go bankrupt can I still have broadband, Sky TV and a mobile phone?
Cheers

If any of the things you mention are disallowed there is nothing to stop you paying for them out of your surplus income.

Posted - 25 October 2009 : 08:01:16 Hi we have the virgin tv package. We pay £33 per month for tv, internet and telephone. On the application it asks how much you pay for your telephone a month and we put £33 down and never mentioned that part of this was for tv and internet.
I think you are allowed upto £50 per month for telephone anyway so we are under this.

Posted - 24 October 2009 : 22:25:13 Hi again Bob,
It depends on the arrangements under which you receive, Sky, mobile etc I suspect.
I am BR and have a mobile contract and broadband - I pay by DD. I did have Sky, but have dumped it from the end of October as it is £23.00 that we can spend on more essentials - our choice.
In summary, should see no reason why there is an obstacle for the retention of the services - if I am off beam, someone will put us right...
Good luck, Richard

Posted - 24 October 2009 : 22:24:32 Hi Bob,
It's generally a case of whether you can persuade the OR whether these "luxuries" are needed for your day to day life.
In my case I work in IT and was able to persuade her that I needed broadband and my mobile for work - I did also convince her that I needed Sky as I live in a rural area I don't get normal TV reception. There are other arguments you could use, say you have Sky TV as part of a telephone/broadband package... The OR will generally let you have a budget of £50/month for telephone calls in any case.
