Also I want to add that allocating time for a refactoring or fixing legacy code is hard to justify most of the time. Instead I try to follow the "boy scout rule":
On every bug fix or new feature you work on "Leave Things BETTER than you found them". An small change like properly naming a class or a variable, or just writing a readme file explaining something will help you and your team in the future.
