Paul, I disagree with you. Creditors are more receptive to accepting IVA's where they know the fees are low or fair and get a better return (provided the IVA is the most appropriate solution). Low fees provided by some IP's allows a large number of indebted individuals to propose IVA's where their debts are as low as £15,000. ClearDebt has done a number of cases where the debts were as low as £11,000. Whilst the fees come out of the Pot for creditors, higher fees diminish the dividend prospects and can and do result in refusal sometimes. However I agree that a proposer has to be able to get on with an IP for 5 years BUT discussing problems with one or more IP's initially does not in my opinion give such individual a guarantee that he/she will be happy with the IP over the longer term.
