This is what we are here for Jhonnie, so ask away as much as you like.
The next step should be to discuss your thoughts with your own IP, and advise him/her that you are unwilling to continue with the IVA for the reasons you identified above. This is more out of courtesy, if you have really made up your mind about bankruptcy proceedings.
Next step then is to download the bankruptcy application forms from the Insolvency Service's website and have a good look through them. Look at the on-line section and follow the easy steps through. Then ring up the local County Court to make an appointment, at which you will have to have the £485 in cash, and your bankruptcy order ought to be one of formality.
Do let us know how you get on, and if you have any more questions we have a team of bankruptcy experts to assist- there is no better advice than that received from people who have been there themselves.
Regards, Melanie Giles, Insolvency Practitioner for over 20 years.
