IVA full and final offer

Options
Hey all, after a recent review my IP has increased my monthly repayment by about 30%. I was struggling before this review and life will be even more difficult now. Was considering a full and final offer as a family member has offered to help out. Was wondering if you could share some examples of full and final offers that have been accepted so i have a rough idea what to offer...my IP isn't helping much!

any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

  • Always difficult to advise on these matters as everyone's circumstances are different, and some IP's are more willing to fight your corner than others.

    However, I have read here and on other IVA forums, that the general consensus is: offer a F&F equivalent to the minimum amount your creditors originally agreed to accept, (ie: your original IVA monthly payment multiplied by the original 5 Year term - that would include all your IP fees), less whatever you have already paid in.

    Your creditors should see this as a win, as they are getting all their agreed minimum dividend at once, rather than waiting another 3-4 years.

    Coupled with you struggling with payments, and the possibility that your IVA may otherwise fail, I would suggest that such a proposal would stand a reasonable chance of success.

    Keep us all posted and let us know how it all goes. Good luck.
  • Thanks for that, I will draft a letter and see what they say. Fingers crossed they accept. This forum really is a great source of information

    Will keep you posted. Thanks again
