    This all depends on your income and expenditure, if you have any money left after all your living expenses they may look at making you pay into an IPA.

    we're not aware of the OP's financial circumstances yet....might not be as simple as "getting a job"

    No matter what the circumstances of his finances are, he is thinking of getting a job so he must think he is capable of getting a job so he should just get a job if he can.

    Getting a job wouldn't necessarily clear unsurmountable debts, it life were that simple there would be far fewer people in a pickle.
    Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear

    No but it would go partway to paying some of them, surely. Then the people he owed money to would be able to salvages some. I may be biased i suppose, someone dropped me in the mire under the same circumstances.
    But even apart from his looming bankrutpcy (as i said before) if he is capable of working and he thinks he can get a job then he should get one. How is he supporting himself now. I am going into rant mode so for everyones sake i will now shup up!!!!
