Morning Amy,
Jan is right you are back to square one, but you do have options of a debt management plan or bankruptcy.
This is just my own personal view if I was in your situation, I would contact another professional & discuss what to do next. You have done everything in your power to pay what you can, & it seems you have been very let down by the management of your IVA. I walked into our IVA knowing little about them & if it had not been for this forum, bankruptcy was on the cards for us too. Your not alone & there are others whom have been in this situation, we here to help n support you through this. I hope a solution can be found n keep posting.
Final IVA payment made in April 2013, never ever thought we could do it or get through it but we did! X

Increases enforced like that are reckless to say the least, and I am concerned that no attempt has been made to discuss this with you or to try and vary the terms of the arrangement. I suggest that you arrange to have a chat with your IP directly to get some explanations.

It may be possible for you to present another IVA - if you have the stomach for another five years worth of contributions - this time perhaps with a more helpful IP. However if you have no assets which would be at risk from bankruptcy proceedings, that may be a better bet to simply draw a line under matters and move on.
Regards, Melanie Giles, Insolvency Practitioner

Mel, would there be any mileage in referring the matter to the IP's regulatory body?
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
