IVA Abroad
Options
Hi Newbie here!
Been browsing & seen some helpful comments so hoping a few may come my way now!
So, a few poor choices and a sprinkling of bad luck & I now have 70k of debt made up of -ve equity shortfall loan, credit cards student debt, heaps of charges etc
We knew we were struggling and so emigrated to where I could recieve a much better income...the plan was to sell house no probs nor profit, keep paying student loans, consolidate cards & with increased salary pay off outstanding debt within 2.5 years. The sums worked...however...this was just as credit crunch etc started...2008...card interest went ot 30%, pay was cut massively etc.
went on DMP whilst house sale sorted etc...currently will take 16 years to pay
if we came back I woudl have no job and we would have to go BR immediately & good new is my family are settled where we are.
Am i able to access an IVA whilst living & working away?
we are not extravagant...despite the above figure! But I am getting hopeless at ever being able to provide for my family, have a social life, buy a house again etc.
Any thoughts folks?
Many thanks
