Hi, Ive been in my IVA now 2 years and about to be made Redundant. I will only receive 2 month's money as Redundancy pay and have worked out that I can pay my IVA standing order for a further 10 months whilst I look for another job. Will the Creditors accept this? Im frightened that they may take this Redundancy pay as a "Windfall" and I will then end up Bankrupt which I do not want at all. Thanks!

You will be allowed to keep 6 months worth of money while you look for a new job,if you get work sooner any leftover redundancy pay will get taken by the iva.How quickly do you think you can find new employment?

Agree with Paul - you can keep up to six months worth of your money while you look for another job. Speak to your IP as soon as possible about this.

Is ther any reason why you don't want to go bankrupt?

Sorry, Im not getting 6 month's Redundancy only 2 months money, hence my question. Thanks

You should be allowed to keep the two months redundancy money. If you are lucky enough to find work within the two months what is left will be payable into the IVA. You could ask your IP for a paymwent break ( which will be added onto the end of the IVA) while you seek work, if it;s going to take longer than two months, rather than plundering emergency savings right away.

Thanks very much everyone, I feel a lot better now!
