Hi to all,

Im in a bad situation, in my propsal almost 2yrs ago it stated my supervisor would collect my payslips every 12 months and that I must pay 50% of my extra earnings. Ive had one letter in nearly 2yrs explaining that all is up to date, and that 1 creditor still had not contacted them. what should I do I dont want to default because of neither of us did what we were supose to please help.

I wouldnt worry about a creditor not contacting your IP. As for your overtime it may be worth making sure that you are not building up an amount that your IP may decide to take right at the end of your IVA.

Hi Kelly.

It sounds to me as though everything is fine.

I would give your IP a ring though just to check that you shouldn't have paid anything across.

Do your conditions state that you can earn 10% of your salary before making any payments across, or is it a straight 50%? Worth checking.

It states Im allowed to earn £958 they have £258 and I have £700. Anything over this 50% is theres. They have never asked for anything wage slips nothing on the other hand Ive never supplied anything either. When the iva started I wasnt only doing nearly 24hrs overtime a month but i am also the cleaner which is all on the same pay slip. so say my take home pay was £1158 I would - £958 and / by 2 which meant I put away £100 for them. Would they default me if I supplied them anything now?
Also If i get any money over £500 ie win on lottery or relative dies then they have to have this aswell.

So have you been putting money away if you have earned more than normal??

They wont fail it but you may find they want a little extra out of you if you have earned more than they thought you were going to.

Also the lottery win thing is standard in IVA's. Possibly not worth doing the lottery unless you plan to win the jackpot!!!!(me first!!)

I was but a problem cropped up and at some points I didnt have it. Its nearly £3000 for the 2yrs and I have it now. I guess I should just phone them...
Just a q. If anyone on an iva should win the lottery would you have to give it all over? I mean like I in total owe about £30000 but if I won a million would they take it all?

Ps I hate to sound a bit think but everyone talks about an IP what is it?

They could only take the total amount of your debt plus fees and interest,so no the rest of your win would be yours to enjoy(and share with me!!!)

Your contract with the creditors is to pay over the additional monies that are due under the terms of that contract - so if your earnings are in excess of the proposal level it is your responsibility to ensure that those funds ar paid. However, the Supervisor should have been assisting you to manage this and if he/she has not fulfilled that duty you may be able to negotiate more time to pay with them to catch up any monies which are due but which you cannot pay.

Ive just told that they may wish to forget about 06/07 and start afresh from 08 as I should be recieving a letter soon. Bit confused cn they do that? Also when I mentioned i have my job, my cleaning job and the overtime all from the same company and broken down but on one pay slip she stated they may change my monthly rate. I dont understand this as i thought my job was the main payment and the rest was 50%???

It's only overtime and bonuses that come under the 50% rule as far as I am aware.

I would have thought your cleaning job would be classed as normal employment and taken into account for your monthly payment.

Not sure about the other part. Probably best to wait and see what the letter says.

If they are prepared to stand behind not pursuing you for the earlier year, I would snap their hands off. It is possible that they realise that they should have been monitoring this and that they need to pull their socks up - but that will be down to them to justify to your creditors.
