Full and final offer - I have £10,000 left to pay on my iva and my parents have offered to help out (yay!) can anyone offer some advice on the amount I should offer to the creditors bearing in mind it takes approx 4 months and in that time I still need to pay my monthly 'contribution' of £1160

I take it you have 8 or 9 payments left. In which case there is little to be gained by either you or your creditors from accepting a F&F. In which case ( considering the variation meeting will also cost creditors £500) I can only see the full amount being accepted.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

Thank you, can I also check that offering a full and final won't incur any costs to me?

There are a few IP's who charge the client (you), these are very rare, but the majority take the fee from the IVA pot --- so it is, in effect, the creditors who pay it. In my case there wasn't enough left in the pot to cover the variation fee, so the IP took the hit.

If I was to offer the full oustanding amount, would it still take 4 months to process??

As you only have about 9 months left to go by my calculations I would let the IVA run its course. You won't benefit much by finishing a few months early except for taking back control over your finances.
