Hi,

Which IP firms have you spoken to?

Your IVA will only be proposed on the amount of disposable income you have after your priority debts have been paid. Something has to have gone badly wrong somewhere if there is such a huge gap between what you say you can afford and what they say you need to pay.

I am guessing its a typo and its £293.

the difference in figures should be easy to understand, but there are some things that are allowed for in proposing an IVA. Gym membership was one of the ones I wasnt, It comes out sacraficing my other budget areas.

I sincerely hope so! It's late and I'm tired, I should have realised that really!

Have you put down everything that you spend? That might make a difference in what your payments are. There must be some reason why companies are saying that you can pay more.

Why do the firms you have spoken to feel you can afford more than £250? If £250 is the right figure, then an IVA ought to be an option for you.

Don't be tempted to offer more than you can afford to "get it through" as that is a recipe for disaster. If that means that the creditors will be offered a lesser dividend then so be it, they will make their own decision at MOC.

Please don't agree to more than you can afford - it will set you on the road to disaster than the road to debt free.

Contact a couple of the IP's who post on here - As Jan says, they will tell it as it is. If an IVA isn't acceptable then they will go through your other options.
