It's 75% by value of the creditors who vote on the day.
Sharing from experiences of dealing with debt
The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.

So if Barclays vote yes and HMRC don't vote at all (only other debt included is less that £200, Barclays and HMRC both owed roughly £5500 so their vote wouldn't count anyway?) then this would have to be upheld by all parties?
HMRC do not like settlements too early with trading businesses as they like to monitor these for at least a couple of years. If they did not vote at your last meeting it is likely because the debt was for tax credits which has a lower priority for them. Hopefully they will abstain again and Barclays can vote it through but regardless if the debt is tax credits I see no reason why they would now want to reject the IVA.

I see. I do not have a business, it was a tax credit overpayment. That is one of the reasons I don't feel comfortable claiming tax credits again in order to afford the IVA.
So now I just have to see whether the creditors will accept the offer or not.

Yes -- if HMRC remain disinterested and Barclays says yes, the others have to accept it.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
