    Yes you can matey - BUT - any money you reclaim (either for mis sold PPI, unfair credit card charges, interest etc.) is counted as a "windfall" and as such, your IVA agreement may have conditions attached to it that mean you have to declare and pay all (or some) of any windfall to your IVA supervisor - for distribution to your creditors. Of course, you still have to show that the PPI was mis-sold.

    The company you're claiming against can't offset the reclaim against the amount they are owed, because that would unfairly deprive the other creditors of a proportion of the dividend.

    If in doubt - check with your IVA supervisor (that's what they're being paid for).

    Hope this helps
