Skippy went bankrupt after an IVA, Julie's husband did as well. The bailiffs won't be round. You may have to pay an IPA for three years and your credit rating will be shot for a further six years, but your debts will be totally written off.
Have a read of Skippy's blog.

An income payment agreement. If you have more than £20 a month disposable income after your normal bills have been paid then it has to be paid across for three years. The allowances are more generous than an IVA though.
