    Impossible to say with any certainty.

    They would look at your income and expenditure to see whether you have any surplus income. The budget that you would be allowed is likely to be more generous than the one that determines your DMP payments. You only pay an IPA if your surplus income is £100 per month or greater, and then only 50-70% of the surplus would be taken.

    There is plenty of info here: IPA/IPOs

    Have PayPlan suggested bankruptcy? You really need professional advice that it is a good option for you before you seriously consider it. The judge/court requires you to have taken such advice.

    The allowances in BR are different than in a DMP. So if you want to pop up up your I&E here that the DMP company have allowed you. We can have a look and give you an idea what to expect.
