    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.

    The law is like an ocean - have a swim but don't drown.

    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.
  • 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!
