Hi we are at first review stage and my husband has been diagnosed with an illness which means he will never work again. He may qualify for early retirement on the grounds of ill health but I wondered how much of the lump sum would be taken by IVA. I understand in a redundancy situation it is anything in excess of 6 months pay but he will never work again so is it differnt in this case?

Hi

I think given your circumstances a lump sum payment to conclude the IVA could work

Have a chat with your Insolvency Practitioner and explain the situation

Good Luck

Hi Andy

Thanks for reply. I'm just wondering if they would expect to be paid at 100p in the £ or would let us make offer for full and final settlement as obviously we need as much of the lump sum as possible to live on?

Creditors are normally sympathetic to settlemenst as a result of death or illness. Discuss this with your IP and they should be able to advise better.
