  • I was told that they only look at your finances once at the start and not again. Currently my income is the same as my outgoings, so the OR wouldn’t expect me to pay anything back monthly.

    In bankruptcy a 3-year Income Payments Arrangement can be set up at any time in the first year, before you are discharged. And during that year, you have to report changes in income to the OR, so if you can get through the first year, you are safe from an IPA

    This is absolutely how it works I had to through my SOA towards the end of the first year and of course you have to report any changes during that first year.
