Has your IVA been accepted by creditors at a creditors meeting yet?

So you can do what you feel is best as you are still in control. If you feel a DMP is better for you, then disinstruct the IP who is working on your behalf.

Once you are in an IVA the only way you will be able to stop it is to default which may mean that your IP or your creditors will petition for your bankruptcy. You may be able to enter into a dmp at this time.

A rule of thumb would be to look at the amount of debt you have and work out from your assets and disposable income how long it would take to pay it off if interest and charges were frozen. If this figure is around the same length of time as an IVA (i.e. 60 months) then a dmp should be strongly considered.

A DMP is generally better for people who have lower, fewer debts, and could possibly pay their debts in full over a realistic timescale - say within 6 years. The downside is that you have no legal protection against the ongoing actions of creditors, and interest is not always stopped.
