    In early 2007 did you have any reason to believe your IVA would fail? And did the IVA people agree to you getting rid of the car?

    There is not a problem with selling the car or trading it in......the problem lies with selling/dosposing of the car at less than market value.They(OR's) then see it as disposing of an asset.Dx

    As your partner has a company car, it would seem logical that even though the finance isn't in your name, the car was purchased for your use. I don't know about getting a BRU but I would imagine the OR will question you quite closely about the car situation, especially as you did this after you had entered the IVA so were aware you had financial problems.

    I wouldn't worry because you haven't done anything illegal and I would urge you to tell the truth and not try and make up stories.

    I'm going to tell the truth,I don't lie in general and not going to start now.I can't help but feel like I've broken the law and I'm gonna get some sort of punishment. If I get a BRU/O will I still get an ipa? I can't concentrate at work,haven't eaten for 2 days and can't sleep as I'm so worried,I feel like I'm gonna breakdown at any minute! God I sound like a right drip!

    You could still get an IPA with a BRO/BRU....not the end of the world though even IF you got a BRO/BRU your still discharged at 12mnths just some of the limitations are still in place till the BRo ends....and IF you end up with an IPA that'll run for 3yrs anyhow...BUT will only come into effect IF you have a surplus of over £99 a month after all your living expenses are paid....

    Your health & wellbeing are more important....try not to worry (easier said I know) untill you know whats gonna happen you may be worrying for nothing
