Hi and welcome. You do need to discuss this with your IP. You would be required to fill out an updated income and expenditure form then your payments could be reviewed. It's possible you could have them reduced.

Hi,

An iva is supposed to be an affordable repayment plan so do have a chat with your IP as if your income changes your payments will need to adapt accordingly.

Best wishes x

seems really really high montly amount, did you pay back a high dividend? I really hope that you can get this sorted out and stop worrying.

I agree that Dan should sort out a new I&E, especially if his job is in danger.

Terryd - there are higher IVA's than that!

Much higher - it's all about affordability. You pay over your disposable income and everyone's is different x

you would think that if your paying nearly £1000 into an iva every month you would be able to afford to pay the debts unless your debts were getting on for like £100,000

It also depends on your outgoings as well. Some of us have high mortgages and/or secured loans to pay. As previously stated, it is all down to affordability.

My own unsecured debts are in excess of 80k
