    what do you mean by failed?

    i.e. creditors didn't vote in favour of the IVA proposal

    or IVA was started but the debtor could not keep making the payments?

    About 30% of IVAs fail. Expect to see this figure rise as mis-selling has become widespread over the past 12 months.

    In reality as long as you have a sensible budget in place an IVA should not fail unless there's suddenly a drastic negative change in circumstances. IVAs are not as strict as people think and your IP will let you miss a payment or two in exceptional circumstances. For example, my clutch went recently costing me £350 and Payplan where happy to miss a payment and stick it on the end.
