Hi Skippy
Totally agree,it's almost like bartering between IPs and creditors over expenses
Surely an IPs proposal should be deemed as true and accurate,they are professonally qualified accountants after all.
What sort of relationship is the debtor and IP going to have if the debtor knows that the IP has added a non existent family pet into the expenditure etc etc.
Creditors should accept the IPs figures and spot check certain expenditure at the creditors meeting.
This trend of asking for increased payments is surely going to lead to many variation meetings and ultimately failed IVAs
