Hi sk
I don't think it is appropriate for me to speak to your IP directly. I would not appreciate another IP telling me how to do my job, and I am sure neither will he. He must rely upon his own knowledge and experience in taking the decisions which he has chosen to make.
Lily's suggestion of talking to MBNA is a good one - MBNA tell me that they like their customers to maintain dialogue to see if they can help - but MBNA have made their position clear - they want the same dividend your IP offered but do not want to be party to an IVA. They must have their own reasons for taking this stance, and should be respected for their position. My point is, I do not see why you cannot do both - especially if you have funds immediately available to effect settlement from your remortgage.
I recently dealt with an IVA for clients who were offering 40p in the £, and MBNA wanted 30p in the £ to remain outside of proceedings. And that is exactly what was done with no party being prejudiced.
