Company debts - personal pain

Looking for some advice here. I used to own my own company which to cut a long story short failed and we entered into a CVA and sold the business. This didn't generate quite enough money to clear everything, and one creditor is still negotiating with the CVA management company to reach the end.
However, the problem is that we had to give a personal guarantee to the CVA for their fees, which at last count (October last year) were close to £20k. Some of this will be covered, but we will be left owing about £10k.
We already have personal debts of £32k, and struggle to meet them and live.
I have applied every technique to reduce our outgoings but as I work on a commission only basis and my husband works pt, and is a student, they can't get any lower. Due to the nature of my job, (I work in finance) I am not allowed to work if I have entered into an IVA - can Payplan still help? Any ideas ... :confused:
Debt free and saving :j
