Hi,
Can anyone advise, how come some IVA companies let you keep up to £500 windfall and others dont let you keep nothing? Shouldt this be regulated by the Ministry Of Justice, there seems to be no justice at all.Thanks

Hi Yani,

It's just one of things I think, nothing you can do about it. Each proposal is different.

I agree with Jan - it's all written into your proposal. Every one has different clauses - this is why it's called an individual voluntary arrangement.

I try to focus on what is kindly being written off rather than what I need to pay in. I can't get worked up about £500 when a couple of thousand plus all the cancelled interest will be written off. I did get worked up about the discrepancy between annual and monthly bonuses though! Still - even that was pretty small fry in comparison to the write off value and i was pleased to pay it.

Must admit that it doesn't bother me either. Unless I get a lottery win then I'll be receiving nothing over £500.

Hi Yani -- the devil is in the detail ... you are only allowed to keep a windfall (assuming this is in your proposal) if it is under £500. You don't get to keep the first £500 if it is more than that.

So, if you get £499 it is yours ( again subject to what is in the proposal) if you get £501 it all goes to the IVA !
