    You will need to justify why your payments need to fall, so a lot depends on what your circumstances are now in comparison.
  • Your IP might need to call a variation meeting to reduce payments
  • i have an IVA arranged through cccs and this year I had a reduction in available income. reduction was due to increase in fuel bill and need for bus fares for kids to college and school. They reduced payments for the 6 weeks it took to gather the info and call a variation meeting an the creditors accepted the reduction with no further term added on. I think it went from a 16% return to a 12% so a substantial drop really.
