Hi please can you help; we have been in an IVA since Oct 2010 and paid £386 a mnonth on £60k debt. At present my husband and I are going through a rough time and are looking at seperating. How would this effect our IVA's? What is the minimum that you could pay in the £ on an IVA as I believe that this is what we would have to do to be able to survive seperately. How would it affect our property which is mortgaged but in negative equity at present?

Hello and welcome to the forum
If you have 2 seperate IVA's you may both need to look at new income and expenditure based on your new circumstances - it may be that your IVA's need to be varied to change the amount you pay every month.
If you have an Interlocking IVA your IP might need to seperate them into 2 seperate IVA's.
As your property is in negative equity it is unlikley to be affected but it would still probably be valued in year 4 to see if there is any equity.
Have a chat to your IP as they will be able to advice you

Hi Kelly thank you for the response it is actually Melanie Giles that we are with (Susan Clay is our IP); is it possible to reduce the IVA payments by the 15% whilst we look at what we can afford to do etc?
I just don't want the IVA to fail and lose the house altogether but obviously need to provide a house for our three year old son.

If you can call a member of the supervisor team they can discuss all your options with you.
