Hi everyone,
Thanks for your valueable advice so far, couldn't got to this stage without you.
My question is, I lost my engagement ring a few months ago and my insurance company paid out for it in the form of a gift voucher to be spent at specific jewellers.
In the meantime, my husband sold his car so that we could pay our bankruptcy fees.
I haven't yet replaced my engagement ring although had intended to do so, but my husband has now found a new job which starts monday but he has no transport. I am BR too and have been allowed to keep my car for work purposes, but we can't car share as our jobs are in totally opposite directions, plus I travel across the area for my work so need a car all day.
If I were to auction the voucher on ebay and make around £500 would we be able to then buy an old banger that my husband could just use for work purposes? How would the OR view this?
Also a general question about ebay, if I make about £50 from ebay a month, do I have to tell the OR?

You should be ok just selling bits and bobs on there, but not sure about the voucher.
As debtinfo says, run it past the OR.
The glimmer gets brighter all the time

The only advice would be to ask the OR |

No, it would just be old babyclothes and general household clutter!
Regarding the car, my husband needs one for work and the sale of this voucher seems to be the only way to fund one, but I am worried about getting into trouble with the OR! Can anyone offer any advice? |

Depends on how much the insurance pay out is, you may need to delare it to the OR. Remember it is not the OR's job to provide him with a vehicle just to decide if a vehicle should be taken away. They may be sympathetic if the new job means that he can pay an IPA though.
As regards ebay income. If you are trading then it shuld be declared to the OR. How to define trading..hmm. Well i would think that most people would agree that if you buy items then resell them that would be trading. If your just selling some stuff you already have then that wold not be trading |
