Mortgage break and IVA

My mortgage is with Northern Rock its one of those mortgages where you are allowed to take a mortgage break every 9 months, will I still be allowed to do this if on an IVA? Just thinking that extra bit of cash would come in very useful!
Thankyou

  • I haven't fully set it up yet and I'm thinking if I phone them and alert them to it they might log it on my file and keep an eye out and then ask for the cash!
    Thanks for your response though!

    Hi Mother Hen - could the people you are setting your iva up with advise you? Other than that - you need to try and get an answer from someone like RAS or CCCS_Sarah as they seem to be clue-ed up on this kind of thing. Perhaps try a pm or ring national debtline?

    Hope you get things sorted...
