    you may be paying into a ipa for 3 years, however the allowances during br are more generous so you have a better standard of living..

    no set rule for how much you pay back, it depends on your surplus income. post your SOA and we may be able to give a idea.

    An IVA has to satisfy creditors and so the p in £ is important. In bankruptsy after the initial fee of £510 (sometines reduced to £380) the OR will expect you to pay only what he/she decides you can afford. If you cannot afford anything then nothing is taken. Another differnce is that in an IVA you pay 100% of your surplus in Br you pay 50 to 70% if your surplus is more tha £99
