Cheers Monito I might look into a DRO again on my next rest day, although it costs me £320 a week to run my house (mortgage, council tax, utilities etc) including my gambling debts of £900pm and I doubt universal credit will cover that until I get another job!
That’s what I’ve been doing Stevie but you can’t be slow and careful and keep the punters and gaffers happy! Never had an RTC yet but it’s bound to happen the more chances you take!
No problem. If you are left with less than £50 disposable income per month then I know that is one of the requirements for a DRO. Another requirement is that your total debts (including any legal fees) need to be less than £20,000.
UC will only pay your rent (if not living with a relative) and the standard living allowance (I think its around £310 per month). All your other debts are not covered by UC, they pretty much need to be put on hold.
I know you don’t want to let your family down but I am sure they would rather you take some form of action rather than being miserable and doing something you do not like.
