IVA to DRO is it at all possible?

hello, I haven't been able to find if this question has been asked before but here goes.

I'm two years in to my iva and my circumstances have changed to the point were I am unable to fulfil my iva payments at all. My original debt was for £14,300. looking back I feel that the company I dealt with pushed me down the route of iva they basically implied that bankruptcy was too extreme for my circumstances and a debt management plan would take longer to pay back. I am paying back £190 per month, I have had to move out of my parents house (this was made clear to my company all along that I would need to move at some point as my parents have moved to spain) and I am now sharing a house with a friend, we split all household bills and once I have paid my own bills and got my self to work and maintained my car my £1000 per month salary is gone.

any advice anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated.

thanks

  • When your IVA has failed, if you meet the DRO criteria you can apply for a DRO, your IVA must not be "current" to apply.

    It would be helpful if you could put up your I and E , you would only be able to do a DRO if you had less than £50 disposable income, did you have a review following your change in circumstances when you moved out? If not that should be your first step before throwing in the towel.
