Great job opportunity - pointless taking it.

Hi Thanks for the replies.

Just to confirm it is on the rigs. i have done it before and i am very experienced but i do know that the contracts rarely get extended after the initial time. it could be another 4 years until another comes along. its all risk as it stands as the job i am experienced at. I need to give it some thought ..... no point putting my self in any greater danger for no reason. Thanks folks.

I've worked offshore,biggest danger is getting on the chopper,and 3 wks away.

@sarahDoe, I dont think it works like that.....does it ?

It means that you get to make good on more of your debts.

Whichever way you look at it, that surely has to be a good thing.

As others have pointed out, it can improve your own chances too. You’re coming across as someone who actively wants to avoid trying to pay back what you can, even if it harms you, which I hope is not the case.

You have never mentioned how much you went bankrupt for.

Worst case is you pay everything back, plus OR fees, so would you potentially be IPA free quicker? Therefore benefitting from the higher salary if you took the opportunity?

Terrance? that does not make any sense? You dont sign up for an IPA , They are given to you based on your expenditures and income?

Nope - an IPA is an agreement (the 'A') between you and the OR. Plenty of people on here - including the wise Debt Doctor - have said that in their experience if you refuse to sign an IPA of £100 or less the OR won't bother taking you to court for that kind of money. So you're let off.
