Surely FJ have ZERO say in whether or not my creditors accept my settlement offer? If my creditors decline my proposal, I thought the worst FJ could do was declare I'd failed to complete my IVA, and put me back at the mercy of my bank and collection agencies?
Some arrangements have a clause written in, requiring the IP to invoke bankruptcy on failure of the IVA, but I believe this is uncommon these days.
I just had my requested call back from FJ and they say making a settlement proposal now is fine and so happily that doesn't apply. But thanks for the heads up, so I knew to ask!

Not necessarily, if a variation is rejected and the IVA fails as a result the Supervisor might be bound to bankrupt the debtor.
