Hi I have an IVA and a family member has said they will take a loan out so we can make a full and final settlement offer, can a family member take out a loan to repay the IVA or will they not accept this
As long as the money is from a third party there would be no objection. But the timing would have to be carefully worked out so that the family member isn't stuck with a loan if the creditors refuse the offer.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
IVA Completed 23rd July 2013 .... C.C. 10th January 2014
My iva concluded with a F&F from a family member, and they were going to take out a loan to do so, although didn't need to in the end.
They had to get the loan approved in principle by the bank and receive the paperwork that is needed to be signed, and use this as proof, along with a letter stating that they were paying it off for us.
The loan details were valid for 28 days, so when we spoke to Creditfix, they told us our meeting date so that we could check the paperwork would still be valid, as it was a few days before that it would' 'expire', the bank simply told us to call and do a new claim if needed.
Good luck !

Hi Leia - Yes but I believe they should take care not to damage their own credit limit by making applications that they may then not use, or might be rejected. There are other advisers on here who specialise in this sort of thing - hopefully they will comment about the practicalities of obtaining the loan for your family member. Mrs R's advice above is good.
