I have been made redundant but I have got a new job to go to within a month so I propose to pay in any surplus redundancy money into my IVA. It will be about £8k.

My dad is taking us on holiday. He has paid for an all inclusive treat for us all to spend a week together before Christmas. My new employer has said they will let me have the holidays but I won't be paid for them as I will not have accrued enough holidays.

My question - would I be able to keep some of the redundancy money to make up my December salary ?

I would not have thought that this would be a problem, so long as you have been maintaining your IVA payments in the meantime, but have a chat with your own IP to see how they feel about this.
