My IVA

Hi, I am currently in an IVA paying 452.00 a month to try to clear my 45,000 debt. I was stretched really thin on this and to be honest really struggled to live normally. I have since had a pay rise which made things better but not a hell of a lot. Part of the IVA agreement was that I pay an additonal 50% of all my income over the initial amount stated on the IVA payable at the end of each year. It has now come to the end of the year and I don't have the 50% to give them!

Can anyone tell me what happens now? Do I get made bankrupt?

I've also been thinking about opting out of the IVA and going into a debt management plan as I would be about to contribute about 700 to 800 a month and should be able to clear all my debts in about 5 years. Is this an option?

Any and all help is appreciated, I'm totally getting stressed out by this!

    Hi,

    Who is your IVA with? I would recomend it would be worthwhile chatting to cccs and payplan about your situation, also post your SOA for people to take a look at, with full details of your IVA conditions.

    Talk to your IP immediately. There's lots of things that can probably be sorted out.

    Getting out of an IVA is impossible except through a full and final settlement.
