How much money can be taken from your benefit money for a debt.We are behind with a bill and i phoned them to sort it out today,after worrying about it all week.The lady was lovely and we came to a arrangement but she did say it could be taken from our benefit if we wanted.She didn't know how much this would be so might be more/less than what i'm paying.The good thing would be that we paid it because it would come out of our money before we got it,so we couldn't not pay it.
