I was in a IVA and paid £930 a month. 3 months before I was due to finish I lost my job. I lost my job at the end of December 2016 and I made my last payment in Feb 2017. I told my IP that I lost my job and couldn't pay the £3.5 k he was requesting. I have no been told I will be made bankrupt. I am devasted and feel the IP did not help me at all and was only interested in his fees. His advice was none existent.

This really sounds unfair. Have you actually spoken to the IP direct or has it been via a caseworker ?

It will cost them a lot of money to make you bankrupt so I doubt they would do that.

Are you with Payplan by any chance?

Have they discussed other options with you, such as agreeing a payment break whilst you seek work, or going to the creditors and asking for the IVA to be ended on payments made to date ? Could a family member help with the last three payments ?

Who are you with ?
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
