Davina,
It does seem a little unfair, but I have always said that I would repay my debts if I could, I borrowed the money, I owe the money, I should repay the money. But I feel that paying interest and the IP fees is a little unfair, I have to pay more just because I've done well and earned myself some decent wage increases? I know what you mean about inflating your expenses but I dont think my IP is an idiot, they deal with thousands of cases and would surely spot it, ask for evidence and then fail the IVA when it doesnt appear and the truth rolls out, it's not worth the risk.
One question that has just entered my head is about the "Windfall Claus". If I bought a scratch card and won £25,000, I would have to give about £12,500 to my IP, that's the rules and they seem fair. Co-incidentally, that is the amount I have left to pay, but would the IP say "thank you very much, thats out fees paid, we'll expect our payment next month as usual" or would they say "oh, that's your payments made, here's your certificate"?
I guess I'm just opening my eyes a bit and lots of questions are popping into my head, thanks in advance for any replies.
