IPA Avoidance
Comments

I have no objection to paying towards my BR, I object to not been allowed to keep ANY extra earning, if they were fair and allowed 50% or even 25% I wouldnt have this attitude, But faceing 3 years without any spare money after struggling with debts for over 9 years in my view is unfair. So yes I will try and avoid it.
and with an attitude like that I really do wonder why I bother helping here with anything :mad:We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will0 -
there is no point arguing on this one phil, there will always be some people that spoil it for the rest, nothing we can do about that, lets just hope that it results in the OP losing out on a promotion or something, or the OR finds a way to get that IPO started, come on karmaHi, im Debtinfo, i am an ex insolvency examiner and over the years have personally dealt with thousands of bankruptcy cases.

One thing is for sure is that you will not go to jail for doing a bit of overtime and keeping the money. I would just email the or saying you have a chance to do a bit of overtime but it won't be a regular thing.
Chances are you won't hear back from them but least you have don't your part by letting them know.0 -
I'm amazed at the advice sometimes on here, I'm sure they just quote things from the insolvency website!
The op is wanting to do a bit of overtime and not give the money away!
If he is br I'm pretty sure he know what his br obligations are.0 -
Quite right Freddie, I completely agree with you. The 'old' rules would have given you that fairness and the new ones do not. Bankruptcy is now massively out of step with all other forms of insolvency, and it needs putting right.I have no objection to paying towards my BR, I object to not been allowed to keep ANY extra earning, if they were fair and allowed 50% or even 25% I wouldnt have this attitude, But faceing 3 years without any spare money after struggling with debts for over 9 years in my view is unfair.

good point, lets make IPA'slast 5+ years, less flexible, only at the discretion of the creditors and give people their debts back if they dont make it to the end,
