    Yes, they have every right to take the money now.

    That way they get it all at once, they have no reason to wait for you to pay it in an IVA.

    They arent daft, if someone owed you the money, wouldnt you do the same.

    The plus side is that you would owe a lot less money to pay back via your IVA.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    No. If you are in arrears, defaulted or had amounts written off then they can use the redress against your debt.
