    On another thread you mentioned that you currently have an income payment agreement in place, if that's the case then the following may apply:
    You may be asked to make a one-off payment from the lump sum to cover the amount left to pay on the IPA or IPO. This can happen even if you are discharged from bankruptcy.

    The amount claimed will vary, depending on whether you are discharged when you receive the lump sum and the time left to run on the IPA or IPO.

    Thanks

    I was just trying to figure out if they would take the full redundancy payment or not.

    I assume I would be best to keep them informed though?
  • Hi if ou are in an ipa then you must keep the or informed of any changes to your financial position

    I believe they will take an amount based upon the current IPA amount multiplied by the amount of months the IPA has left to run. You should certainly keep the OR informed.
