Redundancy and debt
Hi. I'm in debt to the tune of around 20k. I expect to get around 11k redundancy. I'll have no income at all. Do I enter an iva and pay what I can monthly.

I feel like I've been mugged off.
Ok, forgive me if this post seems more from the heart than the head. It'll be as brief, yet as concise, as I can as I do waffle on when I get going. In 2014, the wife and I entered into an IVA. We (collectively) owed just over £20k. We signed the paper work which included our mortgaged property to be taken into…
