I can't remember where we're up to, to be honest!
:-) I mean I know what we've said, but i'm not sure what you've changed and what you haven't. Is the last one you put up the one you intend to use, or have you changed anything since then?

no, he sent us more, our situation has changed too because my little boy is now at school so the nursery fees are alot less and my hours are now less, but i might have to give it up, the hours are too hard, it shiftwork and i am struggling with childcare.

OK I see. Leave it as it is then and see what he says. From what others have allowed, some things still seem high, but if you don't ask, you definitely won't get it! As i said before, the worst they can say is no.
Just be prepared to explain everything and have evidence where you can. As I said before an example is our petrol. It was £290 and he asked why. We could account for every penny of it in our claculations (car does so many miles to gallon, we do this many miles per week to here, here and here etc), so he allowed it.
Good luck!

hi. this is phil. (hubby)
just been reading all the info you and my wife have been sending each other, id like to thank you for your help and putting our minds at rest. we now realise the formality we have to go through. in reply to your question i earn £1,700 basic. but due to shift and overtime the average is about £2,200. the better half earns around £400. my question is that i get payed for being on shift and my overtime is only contractable when im working on call. (1 in 7 weeks)so shift and overtime will change everymonth. its not garanteed. also whilst on call i may not be called out to work so i could go that month without any overtime. how will the OR see this????
also what does the OR do when taking time off into consideration. i have 5-6 weeks to take a year. also bank holidays and sick. so thats possibley an average of 5-10 weeks a year. so thats taking my pay down even more! what happens to IPA payments then? we will be really short of cash for quite a few weeks of the year.
ooh ooh another question. we are currently on a repayment mortgage that runs to 2012 but last year we went to interest only to save money whilst the business was going down the pan therefore would it be best to go back onto repayment so that it puts our mortgage back up by a couple of hundred pounds a month? would we benifit of not.
the way i see it is id rather pay the extra that could dissapear on IPA and it be used wisely than that money going onto making up that extra % to pay....
kind regards.

Hi Phil and nice to 'meet' you!
Ok first question. The OR usually takes an average of your pay over the past few months in situations like yours.
Explain about the weeks you take off and he may average that out over the year too, but I'm not sure.
I'm also not sure about the mortgage and changing it back to a repayment mortgage. I'm not sure at all how that would work and how the OR would see it. Hopefully someone else will be able to shed more light on that for you.
Hope that's helped at least a little. Sorry I couldn't answer all your questions.
Good luck with it all!

If you are on interest only I think maybe that situation might have to stay, why after all should you repay more of your mortgage & not pay your other debts?
I would imagine everyone has time off sick & for holiday so I think they will look at your net earnings over all. |
