How long do you keep your filing for?

[bramblina]

If that makes sense. I'm just filing this months bills and at the back of some of the files are bills 2,3 and even 4 yrs old in some cases. Is there any point in keeping them?

Depends whether you are self employed,when i have paid my bills they go on the fire(wouldnt like anyone to pinch my ID)

I think 6 years is recommended.

Not self employed, just ordinary household bills.

Hi waterfalls, 6 yrs oh no my cabinet will be h-u-g-e. I've got a dr appt for ds about his ears, Tues morning. He ended upi falling asleep again while feeding him this morning. I hope it's ok to hijack my own thread!!!

Do you seriously keep your gas,electric and phone bills that long?!

That's what I'm asking! v Do I have to?

if you are not self employed then cant see any reaon to keep them unless you are making a complaint to British Gas or BT!
