Hi office and welcome to the forum

Yes you can ask the Court to adjourn proceedings, if you are looking into the merits of an IVA. It would be useful if you could lodge a Statement of Affairs into Court to show the Judge that you have other creditors and that they should all be treated equally. First adjournments of these sort of proceedings are usually matters of formality, but it would help your case if you arranged to attend Court in person or found a solicitor to represent you.
