I keep reading stories about IVA's being extended to have a extra year is this the case with all IVA'S or is it just if you own a house. i understand if you have a payment break those extra months will be added on the end so to speak
if you don't own a house then it's unlikely it will be extended - unless as you say payments are missed. It's for homeowners who have equity in their property but can't release it by remortaging that end up paying for the extra 12 months.

It is very common these days to see IVAs extended with clients that have mortgages. This because they are usually asked to release any equity by remortgaging in the final year, which is proving impossible due to not being able to remortgage, so the IVA is extended a further 12 months. I know a few posters prefer this as it works out better for them in the long run.
Payment breaks can be added onto the end of a IVA or you can pay them back over a period of time, so they are not added on at the end. This is what I'm doing with a recent break & paying it back in equal amounts over 4 months.
So as long as everything plods along nicely for you Rones, you will be fine x
Final IVA payment made in April 2013, never ever thought we could do it or get through it but we did! X

There are also the odd occaisions where someone needs a variation for whatever reason (a revision on the original proposal) - if this results in a lower payment the creditors may ask for an extension to make up for it but your IP would explain all that to you along the way.

This place is full of very helpful people and lots of very good information. Kinda feel i dont wanna talk to ppl about my IVA as ppl will judge me but everyone is in the same boat
I second that post nepensioner, indeed a great site and very very supportive, not only from the people that post on here but also from the professionals as well.
Om shanti, namesté, good luck to all who are embarking on the IVA journey, it isn't always an easy one but the outcome is the best.
IVA COMPLETED August 2012, received Completion certificate 18.4.13.
Our agreement is 60 months with an equity release clause, however I cant see house prices increasing that much, also we have already lost about 30,000 off the value, not yet in negative equity probably only have £20,000 in profit. As our mortgage is high there wouldn't be much chance of equity release. I think another 12 payments is far easier than remortaging, this was clearly explained to us on the day our IVA was approved last November by Payplan. No Spanish beaches for us this year and I think for the next 6 years how ever I am happy to take it on the chin and class the next 5 years as a punishment due to surviving, this will be a lesson learnt. Now looking at returning to camping for the next 5 years so hopefully will see some of you on the campsites in and around wales and the lakes. When I'm next there ill be wondering if people can tell if your in an IVA or just love the great out doors.[:)]
