Hi Susey and welcome.

Once your iva has been agreed, all creditors are legally bound by it, whether they have voted or not.

Have you changed your bank account to one who is not a creditor? If not, you may find that they close the account, and you would be advised to find a new one quickly.

You should also have cancelled all direct debits for credit cards etc.

Once your IVA has been agreed, your creditors cannot charge anymore. If you have any letter etc about this, get in touch with your IP and he/she will deal with it.

If you are really worried then get in touch with your IP anyway.

All charges should now be absorbed into your IVA.

Hi
You have nothing to wry about.
All those charges will be included in your IVA.
