I have been in IVA for 3 years - pay £240 per month. I wish to offer a F&F settlement of £7500 as my parents have offered to gift me this - do you think Aperture would accept this.
Does the year extension apply to you? If not I'm not sure why you would want to offer more than you would pay if you continued in the normal way. I agree with Foggy - if the extension doesn't apply offer £5k.
I didn't have an extension year. The IVA was for 6 years. I had no equity extension as it was included in my IVA that I would hand back the keys to my home within the first year. This was done and the mortgage company were not included in my IVA as the sale price covered the mortgage.
A somewhat harsh clause given that a main thrust of an IVA is to protect the home. However, no equity to address, I would suggest an offer of £5,000 in full and final settlement.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

If you definitely have 3 years left at £8,640 you might need to increase it a little to make it more attractive but having said that creditors get paid 3 years early with a saving on Administration costs etc.
Whatever offer you make don't tell them there is more available or they will simply ask for more.
Apologies -- I didn't take that extra year into account, so the £5k would probably be a little light. However, I am assuming now that the surplus on the sale of the house was paid into the IVA, so you are a little ahead there ..... I would try an offer in the region of £6,000 -- £6,500. As Lisa says, if refused you can come back with the £7,500 but don't tip them off to there being more at the outset.

There was an secured loan on the property so that company received the surplus and the balance of the secured loan was encorporated into the IVA as they became an unsecured loan. The term is definitely 6 years though. Would you wait until after my annual review to offer them the money?
If there was a secured loan then I am surprised that it became unsecured.
Mine just carried on as normal.

It had been included in the original IVA proposal as the house had to go so it was agreed that once the house went it would be unsecured and provision made within the IVA for it.
I suspect there was a shortfall to the secured lender Kallis.
I wouldn't wait until after your Annual review, it won't achieve anything - the quicker you get started the quicker (if accepted) your IVA can be closed.
