Hi could you give some more details - are you in an IVA now or a DMP? - sounds as if you are ina DMP amd they have been adding interest - which company are you with?

Hi hidhi and welcome to the forum

If I understand your post correctly, you are in an IVA which requires you to pay 100p in the £ plus interest? Was this because you had substantial equity in your property at the start of the IVA?

From the numbers you have provided, and assuming that you willingly entered into an IVA on this basis, I do not feel that the amount you still need to repay is excessive.

If you could post a little more, things may be a bit clearer for us and we can advise further.
