            The OR should only be taking 50% of your "excess income" as is laid out in the Insolvency act.
Not true at all.
The Insolvency Act 1986 does not stipulate the % of surplus income that be claimed. In effect, it allows up to 100% to be claimed.
Until last year it was the OR's own internal policy to only seek 50-70% under an IPA. However, that changed last year and they now ask for 100% in most cases.Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB
