Have you received your completion certificate ?
If yes then other than PPI payments my understanding is no ..it will be yours to keep.
If not yet received, was the lump sum payment known about at the time of your iva ? Was it excluded from the iva in any way ? If not you may be required to pass to your iva to increase the dividend to creditors - if this is the case, specific financial advice would be required as to whether you should take it now or later.

There is a solution for everyone .... Just need to stay positive !

The important point is whether you have your completion certificate or not, as Luluj mentions above. If not, tread carefully.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
IVA Completed 23rd July 2013 .... C.C. 10th January 2014

Hi John. If you've finished your IVA than that's it - all creditors were bound by the agreement and the amount of dividend they received was full and final - that's the point of an IVA. (Except for any PPI as Foggy points out or assets that you failed to disclose at the beginning/during your IVA)
