What influences a creditors decision to say YES
For your IP approaching creditors you have debt with, what influences their decision to say yes to it?
(lets assume you can provide an income/expenditure form is fine)
what 3-4 factors do they look at? which can make them 'reject' your IVA?
and does each lender see the 'decision' another lender has made, in the IVA ?
(eg, would Santander see LLyds decision in the IVA? -or they are separate and don't care?

(lets assume you can provide an income/expenditure form is fine)
what 3-4 factors do they look at? which can make them 'reject' your IVA? If it looks like you might fail the repayments (SOA is unrealistic), it they have too low a dividend payable to them
and does each lender see the 'decision' another lender has made, in the IVA ? No they don't, they submit their vote to the IP

The thing that creditors will look for is A) that the offer is the best one you can afford to make and
the return is better than in a bankruptcy.
I know of IVAs being accepted for 1p in the £, this was obviously the best offer and offered more than in a BR0 -
And sometimes its just down to the bloody mindedness of the DCA involved, in my case the majority of my debt was with 1st Direct, who approved my IVA, I had a few smaller debts with various DCA`s, and none of them played ball, even though it represented there best option, they all rejected it, but it didn't matter as 1st Direct were majority debt holders and the Iva was passed, sometimes despite the best possible offer, a DCA will reject it, because they know either way, there not getting much money there way, they do there best to upset the apple cart, that just my experience, and it was in 2008, so things may of changed.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.

what were their fees? - before (rejected),
and what were their fees after acceptance (new fee)

Creditors usually cap IP fees at 15% of realisations so work out how much you think you can pay and then 15% -0
