Iva Or Stay Bankrupt

Hello,

2 years into a five year bankruptcy and my circumstances are about to change due to a career change.

I've been reading up on the fast track IVA to anul the bankruptcy. Is this a good idea or should I sit tight and pay nothing for the next three years?

And yes it is my second banlruptcy, i learned nothing from the first one.

    You circumstances are unusual for this board (which is really saying something - no insult intended though) but my first thought is to stay bankrupt. Getting it annulled will not get over the fact of having been bankrupt the first time around. As for paying nothing for three years, if your income rises should you not tell the OR and begin to make payments?
    Regards

    Hiya,

    I take it you went bankrupt before the newer legislations came into practice. Or are you bankrupt longer due to having been through it before.

    I'm bankrupt myself, and my honest opinion would be to stay put. It would be far more beneficial to you in the long run.

    And, no disrespect, hopefully you've learned from it this time, and don't ever have to go bankrupt again.
