I live with my very understanding partner and the very handsome Harry Puss and I was 65k in debt when entered an IVA in October 2006. The IVA failed in February 2007 as I said that I could pay more than I actually could afford so I made myself bankrupt on 29th March 2007. (For the full story, please see my blog)

Hi, I'm 38, married and live in Liverpool. I sold my restaurant to offer a full and final IVA which was accepted. I had just over £90k of debt, (£240k if you include my Dad!. Hubby was made redundant in December and still hasn't found work, and we are proud parents of a gorgeous baby girl. I am here to offer support and any advice I can to all who need it. I now work for Vincent Bond as a debt consultant helping and advising people in debt. Please feel free to email me at viki@vincentbond.com if you would like to talk to me about your debt problems.

I've been supporting my hubby through his IVA journey. Unfortunately, the IVA failed and he was declared bankrupt. He was granted early discharge in November 2009. I hope to be able to give advice on our experience along with being on hand with employment law advice - as I am an experienced HR Manager.

I will offer advice and support in any aspects i can, although i don't confess to having all the answers. Hubby was in an IVA which was completed successfully in december with a Full and Final settlement 3 years in. I came to this forum like a jibbering wreck but now i and many others are proof that there is light at the end of the debt tunnel.

I am a divorced Mother of four, three of whom are diagnosed with ASD. I got into debt after having to move house to accomodate the needs of my children. I felt very black and ashamed of the situation. I came to the forum in 2006, quite desperate and I was helped to feel better and get something done about it all. Since then I have remained a member and tried to reach out to other people who find themselves in the same black, hopeless place where I once was. I feel that debt makes people extremely vunerable and can lead to self esteem, marriage and relationship problems, its also very isolating. I feel its important that this vunerability doesnt force people to make the wrong choices when it comes to a solution.

Our IVA is due to conclude in 2010 and whilst I can't wait for it to get to that point, I'm grateful I had the chance to repay some of my debts. This forum gives me the 'nudge' to keep going and often I have found the advice given to me, to be a defining point. In return I hope to give the best advice possible and perhaps have a giggle or two now and again.
