Hi
i sometimes sell odds and ends on Ebay.
If my IVA is approved would i have to pay any proceeds from selling unwanted Household goods or clothing into the IVA.
I am only talking £100-150 at most per year.

Thanks

Hi Karen

No worries with that.

Its only if you buy to sell on ebay or are making very large amounts.

As long as you are not a business and you are just selling unwanted stuff of your own, there isn't a problem.

I do it and probably make about the same as you. I've not even mentioned it to my IP.

Thanks

No I wouldn't think so, I know mine would not.

Its only that you are selling odds on there, same as if you had a car boot sale. As long as you are not making vast sums I can't see them being at all interested.

You would be able to explain it away to him. My money goes into my Paypal account, and I use that to fund further purchases on there.

Well strictly speaking you should (in accordance with your Proposal and Terms and Conditions thereof) inform your Supervisor. Some IVA's have de-minimus clauses. I would think in practical terms as long as this does not exceed say £250 per year any decent Supervisor (IP) would not claim it from you.

The most I make at any one time selling is about £30 and it is not often I put stuff on, so I shan't be telling mine, especially as it is second hand goods of my own which I don't need anymore. There is nothing in my chairmans report which says I need to tell them about anything I sell.

It is not in the Chairman's Report - it is contained within your Proposal and/or Terms and Conditions. Sorry x

Surely if you sell off your old clothes and household junk, you don't need to pay this into your IVA?

My proposal just states 'Assets, gifts or material sums of money (excluding normal regular income). If I receive during the period of the arrangement any material sums of money (over £500) or asset that may be realised to pay my creditors, I will inform the supervisor within 10 days of receipt.'

There is nothing in the terms and conditions.

My chairmans report just states windfalls or inheritance over £500.
