Is this IVA solely in your name? What contributions does your partner make?

To be fair, she shouldnt be contributing to your IVA anyway. As long as she proves she pays her percentage to the household then that should be all thats expected. Any surplus income of hers would be hers to keep.
To be honest Neil, I don't blame her. It's your IVA and she shouldn't be paying it anyway.

I'm in your partners position - I had to declare my income for the IVA to go ahead. Its so I can show I'm paying my fair share towards household expenses.Any payrises I've had since then are not included - though the rise in fuel etc has swallowed them up.
It sounds as though she is paying more than that though Julie. It's one thing declaring your income and paying your fair share, quite another to be paying all of your salary across.

Julie, thats the whole point though. You only declare what you earn to show that you pay your fair share to the household.
I am assuming that neil's partner is not happy with that. Its not as if she is paying the IVA.
I could have read it wrong, I thought she was paying across to it. Apologies if she's not.
She shouldn't be paying all of her money across though.

I couldn't see that happening. I rather got the impression that she paid him, and he paid it across. It's the way the original post was worded, and I've more than likely got it wrong!

If the IVA is in your name only and your partner did not contribute to the debt, ie you got this debt before you knew her or before you moved in together then i am in total agreement with her, why should she have to pay in to it or prove her wage
Neil, if you can post a bit more detail, we may be able to help... did your partner benefit from the debts? Is she saying that she wants absolutley nothing to do with the IVA? Can you manage the repayments without her income?
If she didn't benefit from the debt then I wouldn't declare my income either if I was her.
If you can't manage the repayments alone you should work out how much you could afford and contact your IP ASAP.
