Hi,

Once an amount of debt is written off, does it stay that way. If I was to sell my house and settle the total amount of my IVA, would my IVA then be cleared. I have been in my IVA for 2 years. Thanks

Hi,

If you sell your house (with the IP's permission of course!) and were able to make a full and final offer out of the equity, then your IVA would be cleared. It would still remain on your record for the full 6 years.

If you had enough money from the sale, you would be expected to pay off the total amount of your debts, not just the agreed IVA sum.

This would actually need the prior agreement of your creditors as well as the IP.

Presumably the equity you have in your house is included within your IVA proposal?
