I cut my cards up on the day I decided to go down the IVA route. I was advised not to make any payments to the credit card / loan companies and to cancel all direct debits to creditors and at the same time I made two payments by cheque to Thomas Charles before the initial creditors meeting, then when the IVA was agreed the Standing order kicked in with the IP.
As I was making these payments, while the IVA was going through the intial set up. I thought justified in not robbing peter to pay paul by adding more to those retched cards.
Never having one of those things again, I can tell you!
The other thing I did was take the phone off the hook! As I was bombarded with calls, and got fed up of explaining that I was taking a IVA
