Hi Melanie, yes it's half term, the only time I get any peace.
Hi Jan, I did start a blog a few weeks ago but it's gone and I didn't have the time to chase it up. It was
http://zzalsnp.blogs.iva.co.uk/ called "Where did it all go?"
I set it out step by step as that was one of my biggest worries as I'd decided not to pay creditors during IVA setup. How long would it take to do and how long would I have to fend off my creditors?
I managed to save a small amount as an emergentcy contingency. This in itself was strange as I'd not been able to save anything for a couple of years because of deby and interest.
I am sure that if it were not the Christmas period it would have been completed a couple of weeks sooner.
Good luck to anyone thinking about an IVA or in the process of setting one up. I am so relieved I can't find the words, I have seen at least two other people ask EVERY question I have had.
Good luck Toby. You're in good hands. I see the monthly payment like a big consolidation payment taking care of everything I owe. If I manage to earn a little extra then as long as I can pay my bills I will happily pay 50% the extra over 10%, which numerically is very reasonable to the debtor.
Ginger, Salkitten, relieved - thanks for your conitnued support. This forum is great and I wish I'd found it and you lot in July.
