Hi there. Am I right in thinking maintenance payments of up to €90 a week are not to be taken into account in WFP calculations from March on? My WFP renewal is in September and it won't change until then, will it? TIA

Thank you very much

Does anybody know how this payment is calculated when they means test it? The HSE seem to be very secretive about the process and you have to contact your local office, which seems a bit rediculous Surely its the same method applied across the board??

Oh I'm not anymore, believe me!

3 of my 6 penalty points will run out mid way through my next policy. Should this affect my premium?

I got a renewal of FIS form last week, despite the fact that it didn't actually start til September/October last year. Will they process it and start the next 12 months early or will it go from when it started last year?

They do it pretty quickly. I've changed my details a few times and the next month payment has always gone to the new account. You can always ring them. They're actually very helpful

Thanks for that. I'm actually still within the 10 day cooling off period for the finance

Hoping someone can give some sound advice to me. I've purchased a car through finance. My Dad now wants to take a car loan out for me to clear the finance and pay him back the money for the loan. Is this in any way questionable legally or is he free to do what he wishes with the funds from the loan?

Excellent. Thank you very much :)

Does anyone know if having a loan application turned down is recorded by the Irish Credit Beureau and/or does it have a negative effect on your credit rating with other companies?

Are back to work family dividend and back to work allowance the same thing?

Do recipients of FIS get a Christmas bonus? Thanks

That's great. Thanks so much

I am currently on OPF payment. I am started full time employment in a couple of weeks so my OPF will be cut and I will be applying for FIS. Will they look for bank and savings statements? I want to have them all ready to go. Thanks

That's great, thanks for your help
