I was advised to go down the IVA route but I wasn't too comfortable with the idea of losing all my credit options and having to remortgage after 54 months.
Who suggested this?
IVA for a property owner is a way to go* but can't see why a remortgage would be introduced to that equation. It certainly isn't a "mainstream" idea in that it converts unsecured credit card debt to secured debt on your family home. Name and shame.
* ..but a DMP is better.Unlike some here, I am not omniscient. If I am wrong correct me. I won't take offence.

Possibly this
BUT that link doesn't say you will lose the property.
Maybe Stokie has misunderstood what they were told or the advisor gave wrong info.1 -
You love your children and they love you way way way more than to the tune of £18 grand! This can be fixed. Absolutely. Don't do anything silly. Think how amazing you will feel when you are debt free. It's fantastic and it WILL be you!0
