IVA Payoff Help

Hi all,

I have been in my IVA for a little bit now and it has been a massive help to me.

I have contacted payplan today in regards to a possible early payment settlement, payplan have said that they cannot guide me on what to offer!? which I just don't understand. I was wondering if any of you would be able to advise what type of % I would need to offer as a settlement figure to have it accepted. She has just said as close the the new agreement figure as possible, which is not really doable for me as I still have £21k outstanding.

Any advice that you can give me would be very appreciated.

  • Unless your circumstances have changed which means you cannot make the agreed monthly payments, creditors will want as close to the 21k as possible - supervisor fees for the remaining years.

    Thanks. My circumstances have changed slightly. I am pregnant, I will have to take maternity leave from January next year, which will mean a reduced salary but they have said I would be able to review my payments 3 months prior to my leave, I was just trying to think long-term and if there would be anyway to clear the debt and start fresh from once the baby is here, as my salary de-creases significantly once on Maternity.
