It's finally come around, the creditors meeting is today!

Im shaking already, they have booked it for 10am.

How long does it usually take to come to a decision?

About half an hour if no-one makes any changes. But they sometimes take a while to get back to you.

Good luck !

So "good" news, it's increased by 60 pounds a month. I'm going to think it over!

Thats alot to increase it by ..be sure you understand fully the implications And the cuts that would be needed to accomodate this ... best to think now then agree to something that may be difficult later.

I don't yet know. I've asked them to call me back tomorrow!

60 pounds is a lot. But my other option is bankruptcy. I'm seriously considering it at the moment!

£60 is a lot to lose per month from a budget and I'm sure you'll think this over very carefully before accepting the modification.

I wonder how they justify this amount. Whatever you decie all the best from me.
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.

The £60 extra is a lot when reading your historical posts you said the spare that you had was £80 a month, a whopping 75% increase if that's what your proposal said was spare !!

Does your practitioner think its reasonable or do they think they should challenge it ? I'm presuming they would still make more on your original proposal than bankruptcy ?

As everyone else says, no point in committing to an IVA that has a high chance of failure during the term, your household bills are only going to go up with inflation rather than fall and will your pay increases outpace those increases ?

Hopefully your IP will challenge this £60 extra if they don't believe it is achievable, and more importantly if you don't think it is sustainable.
My Blog details, the route I took before IVA, how I choose my firm, equity release advice (year 4-5), challenging the CRA's keeping IVA on credit file once gone from insolvency register

IVA ended August 2015. Would recommend McCambridge Duffy
