worried IPA will leave me with nothing

in Bankruptcy & living with it
Got my OR interview on March 4th, really worried they'll give me an IPA.

Do they make it so you can 'just' live & nothing else?

What's everyone else's experiences with IPA's if I get one? :-/

    The IPA is and agreement, not an order, so you should make sure you don't let it go through if it's wrong and doesn't reflect your living needs. If you post your SOA here most good folk will have a look and find something you've not thought about having to pay for and must include.

    On your previously posted SoA then it does look likely there will be an IPA. But the OR doesn't aim to reduce you to penury. If the IPA appears unreasonably high to you, don't sign on the dotted line, come back here and talk it through.

    Point to note, you are entitled to 'reasonable' living expenses...not, bare minimum!
    No, I don't think all other drivers are idiots......but some are determined to change my mind.......
