How much do you feel you could comfortably afford to pay in to the IVA moving forward, Jason, if your IP were prepared to consider presenting a variation of the terms for you to creditors?

What made you decide on an IVA over say bankruptcy in the 1st place Jason?

It would be a shame to go BR now after 3 years of an IVA. As Mel says with a variation to make the payments more affordable it is probably a better option.

What insolvency firm are you with?

Everybody is feeling the pinch of the credit crunch, creditors included.

Maybe your IP could call a variation meeting and have your payments reduced.
It would be a shame to let it fail so far in without even trying first.

I agree.

It is in no ones best interests for it to fail now.

Give your IP a ring and explain that you are struggling and would like the payments reduced if possible.

I'm sure they will be able to help you.

Hi and welcome to the forum, I think a lot of us are struggling right now as Mrs S says with the credit crunch, consider Melanie's advice it's always very good. Hope you find a solution very soon x
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.
