Welcome to the forum. I would seek support from your IP and ask for a payment break to enable repairs or a replacement .... any break in payments are tagged on the end of the iva or made up over the time left - agree this with your IP so you know exactly what is required
Sharing from experiences of dealing with debt
There is a solution for everyone .... Just need to stay positive !
There are boiler rental firms -- I think a few here have used -- maybe someone in the know will come along and tell us about it. Other than that a break would be the best option.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

Hi, we applied for a charitable grant and got a brand new boiler fitted. It took about 6 weeks, we just had to send them 3 quotes and a basic I&E. It's well worth looking at, if you can bear to be without hot water to that amount of time. We were lucky that it was during the summer! www.charisgrants.com
Good luck, hope this helps.
