If the sum of my payments reach the total of my loans plus fees, does my IVA finish ?

Hi,

Can someone please advice me on this particular situation.

I am in IVA since one year.

A week before, they have done the annual review. Based on the calculations, they found that I have £200 surplus amount, so they decided to increase my contribution
by 50% of my surplus amount. As, my previous contribution is £200, now they changed to £300 from next month onwards. I am 100% with fine it.

Because, in my tough time last year, entering into IVA has given me big relief. I can't even guess how I will be, if I have not entered IVA last year. More over, I am giving more importance
to money than before. It increased my financial awareness. I am able to decide where to spend and where not to spend. Honestly, I am thankful to IVA for this.

Details of my IVA:
My Total Loan Amount = £23,000.00 (app)
IVA Cost Per 5 Years = £ 6,000.00 (app)
Total = £29,000.00 (app)

Now I am planning to change my job. I want to move to Contracting. This could increase my salary by 30% (I'm talking the best case, though this is not always true).

If this is the case and if I left with a surplus amount of £2000, based on my first review my contribution will increase by £1000 (50% of my surplus amount).

Then my Payments will be as follows:
First Year - £200 * 12 Months = £ 2400.00 (already done)
Second Year -£1200 * 12 Months = £14400.00 (future payments)
Third Year -£1200 * 12 Months = £14400.00 (future payments)

Total at the end of 3 years will be £31,200.00 which is more than the total of £29,000.

And finally my question here is, as the sum of 3 year payments is more than sum of all loans include IVA fees, Do I need to pay anything in 4th and 5th Year?

Can someone please advice me on this.

Hi. Some IVAs have the condition that, if you manage to pay the full debt then they can add 8% statutory interest. Some don't.

If you repay the full debt, fees and statutory interest before the 5 years the IVA will end early.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

It may be worth asking the IP to vary your proposal to remove the statutory interest. Given that you have an opportunity to earn more and work hard creditors may be happy to agree.

I have always thought that the statutory interest addition is a bit of a slap in the face -- being penalised for paying back more. Any idea of the reasoning behind it Michael ?

Hi

I think stat interest is reasonable if debtor has come into a windfall to clear all debts but in the above case it should not be applied as client is clearly working harder in order to repay the full original debt plus IP fees

The statutory interest requirement was always an incentive for creditors to accept on the 'win some lose some' basis. However now that most debts are sold on anyway and the debt purchaser is already making money I think it should be scrapped.
