Who and how much do you owe money to?

If you have an house how much equity have you got?

Hi
An IVA will probabaly not be an option but bankruptcy certainly will.
You could also look into a DMP, using part of your earned income to make payments.

Do you envisage that your earning prospects are likely to improve at all? If not, then bankruptcy may well be an avenue worth looking into, to take the stress of high debt repayments away from you.
