I am just about to complete my second year in my IVA. I received a bonus in July of £2,800 before tax and would like to know how this will affect my payments. I have never missed a payment and my yearly assessment is due within 14 days.
It will not affect your regular payments. Around half of the bonus will need to be paid over to your IP if not already done. This should have happened in July. The amount will depend upon whether you have the 10% 50/50 clause, or the straight 50/50 clause -- your paperwork will answer that one.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
IVA Completed 23rd July 2013 .... C.C. 10th January 2014
Your share of the bonus should have been paid within 14 days of receipt so hopefully you have saved it up. It will not affect your monthly payment so perhaps from now on send your slips monthly to your IP who can then check if anything is due.
