Hi,
i have a variation meeting next month as well. out of interest what is the reason for your variation? Do you not want to continue with your IVA? I am seriously hoping that my variaiton is accepted so i can complete the IVA as it seems most variations are accepted i think.
Not sure it will be accepted because it will move from 59p to 17p in the pound - a fair old drop.
Danp, the reason is due to redundancy and securing a lesser paid job.
Our current dividend is 48 pence in the pound. We stated originally a take home of £2586 incl Child Benefit. This is in reality more like £2200 (as a change of job and reduced income has happened).
I am in the process of informing my IP, however do you think that a variation is a possibility, or would BR be the more likely route?
I don't see a reason why you can't have a variation Bridgey. Creditors would probably see a higher dividend in an IVA as opposed to bankruptcy and if this is the case (which i'm sure it is) then they're likely to accept it.
If your income has dropped and you can no longer afford to make your IVA payments as they are, then it's really important that your IP seeks a variation to reduce your monthly payments.
