    If you had surplus during your BR year and agreed an IPA with the OR then you are bound to that for 36 months from when it was set up. If your financial circumstances change during that period then the IPA can be varied up or down. Check the agreement you signed.

    As for rebuilding your credit files, have a read of the clean up thread as you can do that even with an IPA. You should also be able to start to rebuild your credit standing regardless of paying the OR an IPA.

    What high charges are you paying and to whom at the moment and why are you so very desperate to repair your credit file now? Remember, the BR will be on your files for 6 years from your court date, you can't change that fact and it trumps anything else that appears on the file. But you can clean things up and make some progress in the meantime so you are in a better position when the BR does drop off.
