    F & F means "full and final" as in how much will they accept to clear the debt. If you can get a lump sum from family then you can try offering them that as a full and final settlement, with any remainder owing being written off. If you are in this position then talk to your IP and see what they say.

    Good luck Emma, but i do not think you will need it. I think you will be raising a glass in a few weeks. All the best.

    Although BR was not an option due to my job (which I love and would not have given up!) it was not an option for me but I can see why it is for some. DMP would have taken me 12 years to clear the debt. Some may call me stupid but I could afford to make the repayments and I wanted to take some responsability for what I did and the mess I got myself into. My IVA has taught me the importance of budgeting and prioritising.


    Eactly why I went for IVA too (though it wouldnt have made any difference to my job !!)

    very very good luck, hope they accept !!!!
