Not good news. IVA was rejected but adjourned for 14 days. Citi, Capital One, Egg and HFC voted yes, Barclaycard and MBNA didn’t vote and HSBC, Monument, Halifax and Mint voted no. TDX voted on behalf of HSBC and KPMG voted on behalf of Monument, Halifax and Mint. The Chairman of the meeting said that no modifications were requested. He did ask me if there is anything I can do to increase the dividend, but that they must be realistic rather than knee jerk reactions just to get the IVA approved. There are a few things that I have put to him that will increase the dividend such as cancelling my pension contributions which will raise the dividend to over 40p.
As requested by the Chairman, I have e-mailed this in more detail to PayPlan and have already received a reply from them.
Feeling really down at the moment, but not out! I’m an eternal optimist. The next 2 weeks, hopefully less, will be awful, but there you go. If it gets accepted, it will have all been worthwhile. If it doesn’t, who knows….
