can my IVA do this?

I'm in my 7th year of my iva.

My original agreement was to pay £24'000 and then remortgage my house to pay the interest. however i have not paid any in any of my overtime and i owe £7'000. to date i have paid £4'000 of that off. in December this year i got a call from my IVA asking if i would like to claim on the PPI of my debts and that it would help me complete quicker depending on the amount i get back (if any) so i said yes.

I tried to remortgage my house and no one will touch me because of my poor rating and I'm on an IVA.

So Grant Thornton (my iva) Said i had to send tow letters of rejection (which no one will give me) and then i would have to pay another year's contributions and pay off my £3000 overtime debt. i was told that the remortgage amount i owe (after they went through what i have paid on my mortgage and based of the value of my house) was £5'000. the monthly contributions for 12 months come to £6'500 which dosent seem very fair to me.

if i do overtime they will stay take there half so i have to pay it all in to play catch up.
they have told me that My PPI claim was part of the original agreement and that i have to surrender to my IVA even if i complete before the PPI is paid out. which is strange as there was no such thing as a PPI Claim when i started my IVA and i haven't signed anything new to say it would go to the IVA even after completion.

is there anything i have put here seem out of order or perfectly fine?

also how do i calculate the interest i have to pay on my IVA?

thanks.
