    Samantha, sorry I jumped into your thread without saying hello. Hello, i've discovered this forum tonight. I have a lot of debt (40,000) and was corresponding with a debt company, the debt point who charge for their services. As far as I can gather after reading reviews here and other boards opt for Payplan or CCCS. I am and am not signing the paperwork I have received. I certainly feel better after speaking to people on here. I like some of the terms like 'lightbulb day' Can't believe I'm laughing!!!

    Angelstar, you mention only 200 per month and the remainder of your debt being wiped off. Who are you with?

    An IVA is obviously based on your income ain't it, my income ain't a fantastic one really £900 a month approx and that is including overtime, so the most I can afford is about £200 a month which is what payplan is basing it on thereabouts they are preparing it for me, I owe approximately £27k, so I pay £200 a month for five years if I get a better job with more money they review it but as it stands around £200 a month, after the five years the rest of my debt it is wiped off, the iva does damage your credit score though and I must admit I have been hesitating loads, and it is really scary, but I know I can't go on the way that I am, good luck with what you decide
