Hi and welcome

Speak to several companies and explore all options open to you, an IVA may be suitable but there are also other solutions

You will feel better once you have taken advice

Hi and welcome,

Agree with what Andy has said - there are a lot of options available to you.

Give Vincent Bond/Andy Davie a ring for some free advice.

Hi, once September arrives and you start your job do you think you could maybe manage the debt? If so it may be worth entering a temporary arrangement with creditors until then as an IVA is fairly serious and can impact on you for a long time.

Talk to two or three experts out there for free specific advice to you. All the best and there will be a solution for you, just talk to several people to help you find it.
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.

Dont rush into anything - see what is possible.

After tax you will be bringing home around £1000 per month and that should be your starting point.
IVA started March 2011, Completed March 2016 and certificate issued 11 days after final payment. It was not always easy but then some of the best decisions aren't.
